From: Inspiratory response and side-effects to rapid bilateral magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation using differently shaped coils: implications for stimulation-assisted mechanical ventilation

Fig. 1

Example of the data analysis window during an inspiratory response and of an upper airway collapse induced by rapid bilateral anterior magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation (RMSBAMPS). A Thoracic excursion, abdominal excursion, transdiaphragmatic pressure, flow and tidal volume in response to RMSBAMPS (30 Hz stimulation-frequency, 20% stimulator-output, D-shape coil) with the glottis open. Dashed lines between the start of the stimulator signal and the end of inspiration represent the analysis window in which the mean and/or peak values were used in the analysis of select variables. B Example of an upper airway collapse during RMSBAMPS (30 Hz stimulation-frequency, 30% stimulator-output, butterfly coil) represented by an increase in transdiaphragmatic pressure without the presence of flow. Data within figure has been smoothed
