The phrenic nerve arises from the neck ( C3-C5 ) and innervates the diaphragm, which is much lower.
22.
Many patients whose phrenic nerve doesn't function rely on a standard ventilator that blows air into the windpipe.
23.
They gave him the " Phrenic Nerve Crush " destroying one of the nerves that controls the diaphragm.
24.
Other rare but serious complications from brachial plexus block include pneumothorax and persistent paresis of the phrenic nerve.
25.
When the portion of pericardium lying between the two phrenic nerves is excised it is called total pericardiectomy.
26.
The accessory phrenic nerve connects to the phrenic nerve in the thorax or the root of the neck.
27.
They thus give rise to the motor and sensory innervation of the muscular diaphragm by the phrenic nerve.
28.
Both HWTX-VII and HWTX-VIII block neuromuscular transmission in the isolated mouse phrenic nerve-diaphraghm preparation and act cooperatively with HWTX-I.
29.
Thus, the phrenic nerve receives innervation from parts of both the cervical plexus and the brachial plexus of nerves.
30.
Most often it is a branch of the nerve to the subclavius and may contain numerous phrenic nerve fibers.
