<unk> , (and even earlier as electrophrenic respiration), is the rhythmic application of electrical impulses to the<unk>  to provide artificial ventilatory support for respiratory failure or sleep apnea. Historically, this has been accomplished through the electrical stimulation of a phrenic nerve by an implanted receiver/electrode, though today an alternative option of attaching percutaneous wires to the<unk>  exists.
