Diaphragmatic pacing. An option for patients with quadriplegic respiratory paralysis.

Recent advances in design, increased reliability, and computerized pacing provide an exciting alternative to mechanical ventilation for the quadriplegic patient. Research into the development of totally implantable, demand-type respiratory pacemakers is ongoing. Careful patient selection, meticulous surgical technique, adequate training in the use of the device, and conscientious follow-up contribute to a successful outcome--increased mobility and independence for the ventilator-dependent quadriplegic patient.
