Diaphragm Pacing: A Safety, Appropriateness, Financial Neutrality, and Efficacy Analysis of Treating Chronic Respiratory Insufficiency.
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and applicability of treating chronic respiratory insufficiency with diaphragm pacing relative to mechanical ventilation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature review and analysis were conducted using the safety, appropriateness, financial neutrality, and efficacy principles.
RESULTS: Although mechanical ventilation is clearly indicated in acute respiratory failure, diaphragm pacing improves life expectancy, increases quality of life, and reduces complications in patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency.
CONCLUSION: Diaphragm pacing should be given more consideration in appropriately selected patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency.
