Authors' objectives:
Diaphragmatic/phrenic (D/P) nerve stimulation involves electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerves, 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.
