Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Several strategies have been proposed to reduce diaphram dysfunction. A novel approach is to stimulate the phrenic nerve, either transvenously or transcutaneously. Transvenous stimulation requires a catheter, which eventually is associated with increased risk of infection and thrombosis. In this scenario, transcutaneous phrenic nerve pacing is attractive but may be more susceptible to patients' anthropometric measures.
The correlation between patients' anthropometric measures and the location of the phrenic has been poorly studied.
