Feasibility of transesophageal phrenic nerve stimulation [PDF]
, 2023 BACKGROUND: Every year, more than 2.5 million critically ill patients in the ICU are dependent on mechanical ventilation. The positive pressure in the lungs generated by the ventilator keeps the diaphragm passive, which can lead to a loss of myofibers ...
