  • Title: Diaphragm Pacing: A Safety, Appropriateness, Financial Neutrality, and Efficacy Analysis of Treating Chronic Respiratory Insufficiency.
    Author: Giberson CE, Cheshier SH, Poree LR, Saulino MF.
    Journal: Neuromodulation; 2023 Apr; 26(3):490-497. PubMed ID: 36609087.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and applicability of treating chronic respiratory insufficiency with diaphragm pacing relative to mechanical ventilation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature review and analysis were conducted using the safety, appropriateness, financial neutrality, and efficacy principles. RESULTS: Although mechanical ventilation is clearly indicated in acute respiratory failure, diaphragm pacing improves life expectancy, increases quality of life, and reduces complications in patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency. CONCLUSION: Diaphragm pacing should be given more consideration in appropriately selected patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency.
