phrenic nerve

There are two phrenic nerves, a left and a right one.

It receives one or two branches from the phrenic nerve.

For the procedure to work, the function of the phrenic nerve must be normal.

The phrenic nerve must be identified during thoracic surgery and preserved.

Phrenic nerve interruption was introduced to Glen Lake in 1924.

The electrodes are placed around the phrenic nerves alongside the pericardium.

The right phrenic nerve passes to the right of the pericardium.

"These two shiny gray bands running through the middle of the mediastinum are the phrenic nerves."

To keep his lungs pumping, a large ventilator for a year then a phrenic nerve stimulator.

The middle set consists of two or three glands on either side close to where the phrenic nerves enter the diaphragm.

The phrenic nerves contain motor, sensory, and sympathetic nerve fibers.

Other areas of the nervous system that have been affected are the phrenic nerves and the recurrent laryngeal.

In phrenic nerve degeneration, the diaphragm may be affected.

Because of a phrenic nerve stimulator that was implanted, he can breathe without a ventilator for four hours a day.

Then he used a mapping technique to find the exact area, called the motor point, where the phrenic nerve contacts the diaphragm.

During the descent of the septum, the phrenic nerve is carried along and assumes its descending pathway.

The pericardiacophrenic arteries and veins travel with their respective phrenic nerves.

They thus give rise to the motor and sensory innervation of the muscular diaphragm by the phrenic nerve.

He claimed that, by stimulating the phrenic nerve, life could be restored in cases of suffocation, drowning or hanging.

On the left, the phrenic nerve crosses anterior to the first part of the subclavian artery.

The contribution of the 5th cervical nerve may stem from an accessory phrenic nerve.

To see if Mr. Reeve was a candidate, doctors tested his phrenic nerves to make sure they were all right.

Irritation of the nerves in the head, neck, and chest (vagus or phrenic nerve).

To supplement the work of the new drugs, Doctor Staples had decided that the phrenic nerve in his neck should be temporarily crushed.

Irritation of the phrenic nerve (or the tissues supplied by it) leads to the hiccough reflex.
