Overview

No treatment is required for unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis because most patients are asymptomatic. In bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis treatment options are ventilatory support and diaphragmatic pacing.

Medical Therapy

Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis

  • No treatment are required in unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis because most patients are asymptomatic.[1]
  • Transient ventilatory support with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) or invasive mechanical ventilation: it is used when patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis develop acute respiratory dysfunction after general anesthesia or infections.

Bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis

  • Treatment options depends upon the severity of paralysis of the diaphragm and etiology. [2][3]
  • Ventilatory support (invasive or noninvasive)
  • Diaphragmatic pacing:
    • It is done via stimilation of the diaphragm by implanted electrodes at the level of the neck or thorax. [4]
    • It can not be done in patients with denervated diaphragams.
    • Best candidates for diaphragmatic pacing are patients with high level cervical cord injury.[5]

Diaphragmatic paralysis

Antiviral therapy for viral etiology of diaphragmatic paralysis:[6]

  • Adult
    • Valacyclovir 1000 mg twice daily for 1 week
