Summary

Prolonged mechanical ventilation has been shown to induce diaphragm dysfunction. Temporary diaphragm pacing is an interesting lead to halt or slow diaphragm dysfunction. A detailed description of the distal portion of the phrenic nerve would be the start for developing a new surgical approach for diaphragm pacing. Its in that perspective that we are launching a clinical observational study of the distal portion of the phrenic nerve in patients who undergo minimally invasive thoracic surgey. We hypothetize that the density of the fatty tissue surrounding the distal portion of the phrenic nerve might influence efficiency of the electrode during diaphragm pacing. The objective of this study is to find a correlation between the amount of fatty tissue around the nerve and the body mass index of individuals.
