Evaluation of electric phrenic nerve stimulation patterns for mechanical ventilation: a pilot study

Abstract Diaphragm atrophy is a common side effect of mechanical ventilation and results in prolonged weaning. Electric phrenic nerve stimulation presents a possibility to avoid diaphragm atrophy by keeping the diaphragm conditioned in sedated patients. There is a need of further investigation on ho...
