This study aims to examine efficacy of transcutaneous electrical phrenic nerve stimulation (TEPNS) in ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). The investigators recruit VIDD patients, and randomly assign the patients into TEPNS group and control group. TEPNS group receives TEPNS twice a day for consecutive 5 days. Control group only receives usual care. The investigators collect diaphragm function indicators and outcomes to evaluate the efficacy.
