Exempel på phrenic

• The oversewn stump of the homograft pulmonary trunk was sutured anterior to the right phrenic nerve for later retrieval.

• Topical cooling is achieved with slush or cold saline and a swab is used to protect the phrenic nerve.

• Fluoroscopy of the chest revealed the cause of prolonged respiratory failure to be unilateral phrenic nerve palsy.

• The distal oesophagus receives blood from the oesophageal branches of the inferior phrenic and left gastric arteries.

• The pericardium is completely freed on the right side from the parietal pleura so that aflapcan be fashioned which remains in continuity with its base adjacent to the phrenic nerve.

• We undertook phrenic nerve stimulation study on 55 children (ages 2 weeks to 11 years) before and after cardiac surgery and at outpatient follow-up 3 months to 1 year later.

• The main pulmonary artery end of the homograft is prepared by excising the valve, oversewing, then tucking this "stump" anterior to the phrenic nerve for later use.

• These hiccups are part of fetal development and are associated with the myelination of the phrenic nerve, which primarily controls the thoracic diaphragm.

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

• The mediastinal and central portions of the diaphragmatic pleura are innervated by the phrenic nerves.

• The phrenic nerve is then isolated under the scalenus anticus muscle.

• Most often it is a branch of the nerve to the subclavius and may contain numerous phrenic nerve fibers.

• Diaphragmatic spasm is easily checked by pinching the phrenic nerve in the neck between the fingertips.

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

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