Electrostimulation Program for Lung Transplant Recipients in the ICU

Lung transplantation is so far the only viable therapy for those individuals with a life-threatening chronic respiratory individuals with a chronic respiratory problem that compromises their life in a period of less than two years and the therapeutic options have been exhausted. The investigators are dealing with individuals with a prolonged disease process, characterized mainly by the reduction of their respiratory capacities, which has a great impact on the basic activities of daily living. Pulmonary involvement conditions the mobility of the individual, limiting physical activity and leading to episodes of dyspnea. The aerobic capacity of the patient is very impaired before the transplant, although after the transplant, it continues in levels below normal for their age . This, resulting in episodes of dyspnea impacts on the extraction and utilization of muscular oxygen , which reduces mobility periods. Limitations in physical activity and even mobility prior to physical activity and even mobility limitations prior to transplantation lead these individuals to marked muscular deterioration, which has an impact on both the general physical and psychological levels. The aim of this study is assessment of muscle status in transplant recipients in lung transplant recipients after application of EMS therapy in the ICU.The sample is divided into two groups, a control group that will not receive EMS therapy and a control group that receive it.
