Decreased neuromuscular capacity may be caused by phrenic nerve dysfunction, diagnosed or undiagnosed neuromuscular disorders due to MV dependence (the same factors that weaken the patient and cause MV dependence also degrade health and function of neuromuscular components of the respiratory system), and reduced endurance or respiratory muscle strength necessary to move gases in and out of the lungs). The option of unipolar or bipolar pacing can help reduce phrenic nerve stimulation. The major blood vessels and nerves are described and shown in relation to important anatomical landmarks (eg, in the head and neck, the phrenic nerve is clearly shown lying on the surface of the anterior scalene muscle). |
