Abstract:Objective. Phrenic nerve stimulation reduces ventilator-induced-diaphragmatic-dysfunction, which is a potential complication of mechanical ventilation. Electromagnetic simulations provide valuable information about the effects of the stimulation and are used to determine appropriate stimulation parameters and evaluate possible co-activation.
Approach. Using a multiscale approach, we built a novel detailed anatomical model of the neck and the phrenic nerve. The model consisted of a macroscale volume con… Show more
