Electroventilation uses electrical stimulation on body electrodes to create artificial respiration. This review covers its history, safety, efficacy, and applications in humans and animals.

Area of Science:

  • Medical technology
  • Physiology
  • Biomedical engineering

Background:

  • Electroventilation, a method of artificial respiration, employs electrical stimulation via surface electrodes.
  • This technique aims to induce breathing through controlled electrical impulses.

Observation:

  • The article reviews the historical development and current status of electroventilation.
  • It examines the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of the method.
  • Numerous case examples in both human and animal subjects are presented.

Findings:

  • The efficacy and safety profile of electroventilation are critically assessed.
  • The review details the scientific basis for using electrical stimuli to achieve respiration.
  • Specific indications and contraindications for employing electroventilation are outlined.
