BACKGROUND: Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis in patients with univentricular heart is a known complication after pediatric cardiac surgery. Because diaphragmatic excursion has a significant influence on perfusion of the pulmonary arteries and hemodynamics in these patients, unilateral loss of function leads to multiple complications. The current treatment of choice, diaphragmatic plication, does not lead to a full return of function. A unilateral diaphragmatic pacemaker has shown potential as a new treatment option. In this study, we investigated an accelerometer as a trigger for a unilateral diaphragm pacemaker (closed-loop system).
METHODS: Seven pigs (mean weight 20.7 ± 2.25 kg) each were implanted with a customized accelerometer on the right diaphragmatic dome. Accelerometer recordings (mV) of the diaphragmatic excursion of the right diaphragm were compared with findings using established methods (fluoroscopy [mm]; ultrasound, M-mode [cm]). For detection of the amplitude of diaphragmatic excursions, the diaphragm was stimulated with increasing amperage by a cuff electrode implanted around the right phrenic nerve.
RESULTS: Results with the different techniques for measuring diaphragmatic excursions showed correlations between accelerometer and fluoroscopy values (correlation coefficient 0.800, P < 0.001), accelerometer and ultrasound values (0.883, P < 0.001), and fluoroscopy and ultrasound values (0.816, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: The accelerometer is a valid method for detecting diaphragmatic excursion and can be used as a trigger for a unilateral diaphragmatic pacemaker.
