Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transcutaneous nerve stimulator and its use for artificial ventilation or in combination with a conventional respirator to avoid the inactivity atrophy of the diaphragm that occurs during artificial ventilation.
  • the respiratory muscles create a negative pressure in relation to the ambient air pressure py by expanding the thoracic expansion in the thorax, so that inhalation takes place because of PL ⁇ PU.
  • passive exhalation occurs when the forces of the respiratory muscles, which expand the thorax and lungs, cease.
  • the pressure in the thorax is the same in both respiratory forms, but while in the physiological form of breathing for the inspiration phase, the pressure in the thorax drops, it increases in positive pressure ventilation.
  • This pressure and of course its changes are also transferred to the blood vessels according to the superposition principle. It mainly affects the veins and auricles. It comes with the physiological form of breathing, namely during inspiration through the increased pressure gradient between the thorax and Abdominal cavity to an increased venous inflow into the thorax and thus to the heart. As a result, the cardiac output is increased under otherwise completely identical conditions. This is referred to as the pumping effect of breathing on the circulation. In the case of positive pressure ventilation, an opposite pressure gradient is being built up for inhalation, so there is rather a counter-rotating, ie circulating pumping effect.
  • Respiratory rhythmic activation of the diaphragm by corresponding excitation of the phrenic nerve which triggers the contraction of the diaphragm, would bring the artificial respiratory mechanics closer to the physiological respiratory mechanics and thus enable the respiratory pump effect on the circulation. It is therefore a goal to manufacture devices that lead to ventilation by activating the diaphragm according to the normal, physiological breathing mechanism.
  • Inactivity atrophy of the diaphragm occurs to varying degrees in patients who are artificially ventilated for a long time using conventional positive pressure methods.
  • the muscle fibers of the diaphragm (skeletal muscles) become weaker and this leads to weakness in breathing and requires that the patient has to be weaned from the ventilator again after the artificial respiration.
  • Regular activation of the diaphragm during artificial ventilation via respiratory rhythmic stimulation of the phrenic nerve prevents this inactivity atrophy.
  • Electrostimulation of the phrenic nerve is already a clinically established method, but it is limited to implantable nerve stimulators.

Depending on the strength of the stimulus, none, several or all nerve fibers are excited, which is shown in the occurrence or the amplitude and duration of the total action potential of the nerve. Each motor nerve fiber divides into several muscle fibers. The excitation of a nerve fiber also triggers action potential on all of the muscle fibers innervated by it.
