Electromagnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerve induces diaphragm contractions, but no coils for clinical use have been available.
In original Research published in CHEST, researchers concluded that Bilateral transcutaneous non-invasive electromagnetic phrenic nerve stimulation (NEPNS) has proven to be a feasible option in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting, potentially offering the advantage of preventing diaphragm atrophy during mechanical ventilation. However, they added that further evaluation of NEPNS ventilation effectiveness is necessary.
