Description
Product Type:
Stimulator with partial implants
Technique: Phrenicus nerve stimulator
Description:
Central respiratory insufficiency can result from injuries to the cervical spine at the level of C2. Hypoventilation is often caused by congenital or acquired damage such as stroke, tumors or intoxication. In these cases there is a dependency on breathing aid. As an alternative to a mechanical respirator, physiological ventilation through an implanted Atrostim Phrenicius Nerve Stimulator (PNS) can be considered.
Nerve electrodes and stimulators are implanted during surgery. For safety, two independent stimulators are always used, which are fixed to the induction coils.
The diaphragmatic muscle is stimulated by the electrical impulses and thus enables physiological breathing (warmed up and purified breath). Under certain circumstances, blocked tracheostomy tubes are replaced; this also enables speaking (closure flap, phonation window). The constant increase in respiratory volume can then be achieved by training the diaphragm muscle. In addition, this is supported by the function of the regular sigh. With the phrenic nerve stimulator Atrostim 2.0, the patient is much more free and independent in their movements.
