Progress of clinical application of external diaphragm pacemaker in respi-ratory failure
Respiratory failure is a serious disorder of lung ventilation and air exchange caused by various reasons inside and outside the lung,which seriously threatens the life of patients.At present,the clinical treatment methods for it are mostly mechanical ventilation,and there are still shortcomings.The principle of external diaphragm pacemaker is to perform semi-forced diaphragm movement,which can improve lung function,increase expiratory rate,and alveolar ventilation,enhance diaphragm movement and lung elastic retraction force,and improve the prognosis of patients with respiratory failure.In this paper,the application of external diaphragm pacemaker in patients with respiratory failure and its influence on mechanical ventilation,as well as the effect of external diaphragm pacemaker combined with other intervention measures in the treatment of patients with respiratory failure are reviewed.It is found that external diaphragm pacemaker has a significant effect,which can reduce the adverse reactions of mechanical ventilation,and the combination of external diaphragm pacemaker with various intervention measures also shows a good synergistic effect,it is worth further study in clinic.
