| Popis: | Recently, an electrical stimulation of the paralyzed muscle, as a potential therapy for restoring function of a denervated muscle system, has been debated as an innovative treatment in the management of patients with laryngeal paralysis. Numerous studies in acute and chronic animal models have demonstrated that electrical stimulation of the paralyzed posterior cricoarytenoideus muscle (PCA) offers an approach to induce vocal fold abduction and restore ventilation through the glottis. The study aims to test applicability of the controlled opening of the rima glottides via direct electrical stimulation of the posterior cricoarytenoideus muscle. We developed for this purpose a novel instrument system for the controlled larynx nerve stimulation. An acute experiment on the 4 years old pig showed effectiveness of the engineered stimulator. The controlled opening of rima glottidis of both posterior cricoarytenoid muscles and afterwards of both PCA muscle contraction were observed as a result of the electrical stimulation with the applied current in the range of 0.1–3 mA and pulse width of 1 ms and 10 ms. Performed research indicates a large potential of the novel nerve stimulator for the human larynx stimulation. |
