Abstract
A system and associated method deliver a respiration therapy. Stimulation pulses are delivered to activate a right portion of a patient's diaphragm and to activate a left portion of a patient's diaphragm. A control processor determines dyssynchrony of a respiratory response to the stimulation pulses and adjusts a stimulation control parameter controlling the delivering of the stimulation pulses in response to dyssynchrony of the respiratory response.
