摘要

Stimulated contraction of the diaphragm by non-invasive electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve is demonstrated. A specialized device including a programmable current source and an electrode system has been developed to generate the stimulating signal. We report here a study on the effectiveness of stimulation on the contractile activity of the diaphragm by assessment of transdiaphragmatic pressure.
