Yichang Li became the first patient from China to be implanted with
the diaphragm pacing system (DPS). Mr. Li suffered a spinal cord
injury in a car accident that left him quadriplegic four years ago.
He is shown here a week after surgery with his wife Jiang Cui Ping
and Ray Onders, MD, who implanted the DPS at University Hospitals
(UH) Case Medical Center on June 5. Dr. Onders is a co-inventor of
DPS and Director, Adult Minimally Invasive Surgery at UH. The system
allows spinal-cord injured patients to breathe without the use of a
ventilator by electronically stimulating their diaphragm muscle. The
system also has been successful with ALS patients and Dr. Onders
recently began a study for its use in intensive care unit patients.
Dr. Onders is also a Professor of Surgery at Case Western Reserve
University School of Medicine. 英文文章由UH提供
