Diaphragmatic/phrenic nerve stimulation
Record ID 32011001458
English
Authors' objectives:
Diaphragmatic/phrenic nerve (D/P) stimulation involves electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerves or muscle of the diaphragm, which then causes the diaphragm to contract, thereby creating negative pressure within the chest and pulling air into the lungs, as in normal breathing. The goal of D/P pacing is to achieve adequate respiration without the use of a mechanical ventilator.
