Abstract: Introduction The most common type of central sleep apnea (CSA) breathing pattern in patients with heart failure (HF) is Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR). CSR manifests as a cyclical pattern of apnea and hyperventilation, with absence of… read more here.

Abstract: Rationale: Ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction is a significant contributor to weaning difficulty in ventilated critically ill patients. It has been hypothesized that electrically pacing the diaphragm during mechanical ventilation could reduce diaphragm dysfunction. Objectives: We tested… read more here.
