Following our experience with diaphragmatic pacing in 2 quadriplegic patients with bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis, we here present the indication for and the surgical technique of bilateral implantation of a diaphragmatic pacemaker. This mode of artificial ventilation appears to be superior to positive pressure ventilation for longterm ventilatory assistance of these patients.
基于我们对2例双侧膈肌麻痹的四肢瘫痪患者进行膈肌起搏的经验,在此介绍双侧植入膈肌起搏器的适应症及手术技术。对于这些患者的长期通气支持,这种人工通气方式似乎优于正压通气。
