Summary

Ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction is a common issue in critically ill patients. Muscle stimulation has shown to have beneficial effects in muscle groups on the extremities. A non-invasive way to stimulate the diaphragm would be the electromagnetic stimulation but it is currently unclear if that is feasible.

In this proof-of-concept trial the primary aim is to show that it is possible to induce a diaphragmatic contraction leading to an inspiration with a sufficient tidal volume via an external electromagnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerve in obese patients.
