Diaphragmatic pacing following the seizure prevents fatal respiratory arrest. Representative EEG (upper) and plethysmography (lower) 60 s traces from a seizure trial without diaphragmatic pacing (A) and with diaphragmatic pacing (B). The animal which did not receive diaphragmatic pacing (A) died, the animal that did receive diaphragmatic pacing (B) survived. Notable features of each trace have been labelled (grey text). The diaphragmatic pacing stimulation caused pronounced artefacts on the EEG trace. Electrical artefact on the EEG trace due to the electroshock stimulation has been occluded (black bars) to prevent confusion with subsequent epileptiform discharges.
