Study Summary
During major surgical procedures general anesthesia is used to make the patient unconscious. General anesthesia insures that the patient is unaware of any pain caused by surgery. General anesthesia also prevents the patient from moving to prevent any potential surgical error. At the same time general anesthesia makes it impossible for the patient to breathe. To help the patient breathe a breathing tube is placed into the patient's airway and connected to the mechanical ventilator. A mechanical ventilator is an artificial breathing pump, which delivers gas into a patient's airways. The purpose of this research study is to determine if brief periods of diaphragm stimulation can prevent diaphragm problems caused by the use of mechanical ventilators and surgery. To answer this question the changes in the genes responsible for maintaining diaphragm function will be studied. A gene is the code present in each cell in your body and controls the behavior of that cell. In addition, the changes in the contractile properties of muscle fibers will be studied. The results from this study may help develop new treatments to prevent diaphragm weakness resulting from mechanical ventilation use.
