Assessing phrenic nerve function in the setting of diaphragmatic paralysis in
diaphragm pacing candidates can be challenging. Traditional imaging modalities
and electrodiagnostic evaluations are technically difficult. Either modality
alone is not a direct measure of the function of the phrenic nerve and diaphragm
unit. In this article, the authors present their method for evaluating phrenic
nerve function and the resulting diaphragm function. Stimulating the phrenic
nerve with transcutaneous stimulation and directly observing the resulting
movement of the hemidiaphragm with M-mode ultrasonography provides quantitative
data for predicting the success of advancing technologies such as phrenic nerve
pacing and diaphragm pacing.
