Background: The effectiveness of diaphragmatic electrical stimulation (DES) compared to mechanical ventilation (MV) in improving clinical outcomes such as quality-of-life (QOL) and hospital stay remains inconsistent.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, LILACS, and IEEE Xplore. We included comparative studies (randomized controlled trials and observational studies) of DES administered via the phrenic nerve or intramuscular electrodes, compared with MV in adults with diaphragmatic paralysis or paresis.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of rebuilding the phrenic nerve and using diaphragm pacing for patients with diaphragm paralysis caused by nerve injury, based on a review of 34 patients.
  • The majority of patients (88%) reported improved respiratory function, with significant increases in lung capacity and diaphragm motor activity.
  • The findings suggest that this surgical approach is safe, effective, and should be included in treatment plans for those affected by diaphragmatic paralysis.
