title: [Assisted respiration by stimulation of the diaphragmatic muscle. A case].
abstract: Direct electrical stimulation of the diagram has resulted in physiological functioning in a quadriplegic patient. Mechanical ventilation could be partly withdrawn with 13-hour periods of "respiration". During the 2-month stay in hospital, 90 hours of respiration were obtained by stimulation. The patient died 8 weeks after the operation.
