Five patients with hypoventilation and paresis of the diaphragm following trauma to the cervical spinal cord, brain stem, or both, were evaluated with phrenic nerve conduction studies while being considered for implantation of a phrenic nerve stimulator. Several distinct patterns of phrenic nerve function were elicited in the various cases, allowing accurate predictions and management decisions to be made. Phrenic nerve conduction studies are felt to be a valuable diagnostic tool in the management of the hypoventilating patient with cranio-cervical trauma. The procedure is safe, rapid, and easily performed at the bedside.
对5例因颈脊髓、脑干或两者同时受伤而出现通气不足和膈肌麻痹的患者进行了膈神经传导研究，这些患者正考虑植入膈神经刺激器。在不同病例中发现了几种不同的膈神经功能模式，从而能够做出准确的预测和管理决策。膈神经传导研究被认为是管理患有颅颈创伤的通气不足患者的一种有价值的诊断工具。该操作安全、快速，且易于在床边进行。
