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.

Objective: Prolonged mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery significantly increases morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to establish the role of diaphragmatic pacing to decrease mechanical ventilation burden in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Methods: This is a prospective, randomized trial of temporary diaphragmatic pacing electrode use in patients undergoing cardiac surgery (NCT04899856).

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.
