Anyone heard of DPS - Diaphragm Pacing Stimulation device? Seems like a simple idea.
Google it for more info....and here is one of the links that I found.

Excerpt from the link below:
The goal is to free a person’s
dependence on a ventilator over time
by stimulating the diaphragm with
intermittent electric impulses. They
cause the diaphragm, the primary
muscle for breathing in, to contract,
thus enabling air to enter the lungs as
in normal respiration."
