Spinal cord injury poses considerable challenges, particularly in diaphragm paralysis. To
address limitations in existing diaphragm pacing technologies, we report an implantable …

Background The effectiveness of diaphragmatic electrical stimulation (DES) compared to
mechanical ventilation (MV) in improving clinical outcomes such as quality-of-life (QOL) and …

Background Decreasing the burden of mechanical ventilation for spinal cord injuries was
never more relevant than during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data have shown diaphragm …

Background: Patients with high spinal cord injury (SCI) are unable to breathe on their own
and require mechanical ventilation (MV). The long-term use of MV is associated with …

Objective: To examine the clinical efficacy of combining Riluzole with mannitol and
hyperbaric oxygen therapy in treating thoracolumbar vertebral fracture-induced acute spinal …

Background Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) can lead to dependence on mechanical
ventilation (MV) with significant morbidity and mortality. The diaphragm pacing system (DPS) …

BACKGROUND Cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) is devastating with ventilator-associated
pneumonia being a main driver of morbidity and mortality. Laparoscopic diaphragm pacing …

Background Cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) is devastating and costly. Previous research
has demonstrated that diaphragm pacing (DPS) is safe and improves respiratory mechanics …

Abstract Introduction Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) is a recently recognized, polio-like illness
of children that can be functionally devastating. Severe cases can lead to ventilatory failure …

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the safety and applicability of treating chronic
respiratory insufficiency with diaphragm pacing relative to mechanical ventilation. Materials …
