Direct diaphragm stimulation.

Direct diaphragmatic stimulation is effective without discomfort to the patient and without muscular fatigue. However, some quadriplegic patients may require synchronous expiratory stimulation in order to obtain complete and permanent respiratory autonomy. Now it will be necessary to undertake further studies of the indications for direct diaphragm stimulation.

[Assisted respiration by stimulation of the diaphragmatic muscle. A case].

Direct electrical stimulation of the diagram has resulted in physiological functioning in a quadriplegic patient. Mechanical ventilation could be partly withdrawn with 13-hour periods of "respiration". During the 2-month stay in hospital, 90 hours of respiration were obtained by stimulation. The patient died 8 weeks after the operation.
