Brief Summary:
This will be a prospective observational study where the investigator will scan patients necks with an ultrasound and look for anatomical landmarks that may help identify the phrenic nerve
Detailed Description:
Patients under protective mechanical ventilation an intervention that saves lives may need sedation and paralyzing agents However sedation and paralyzing agents are associated with multiple complications including diaphragm dysfunction
Several strategies have been proposed to reduce diaphram dysfunction A novel approach is to stimulate the phrenic nerve either transvenously or transcutaneously Transvenous stimulation requires a catheter which eventually is associated with increased risk of infection and thrombosis In this scenario transcutaneous phrenic nerve pacing is attractive but may be more susceptible to patients anthropometric measures
The correlation between patients anthropometric measures and the location of the phrenic has been poorly studied
