Non‐invasive phrenic nerve stimulation to avoid ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction in critical care

Background Diaphragm muscle atrophy during mechanical ventilation begins within 24 h and progresses rapidly with significant clinical consequences. Electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerves using invasive electrodes has shown promise in maintaining diaphragm condition by inducing intermittent dia...
