Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A method for treating a subject, the method comprising:
assisting breathing of the subject via positive pressure ventilation from an external respiratory support device;
delivering a first pulsed electrical signal to a first nerve of the subject, during an inspiration phase of a breath assisted by the external respirator support device, wherein delivery of the first pulsed electrical signal reduces aberrant neuro signaling caused by the external respiratory support device;
delivering a second pulsed electrical signal to a second nerve of the subject, wherein delivery of the second pulsed electrical signal creates negative pressure in a thoracic cavity of the subject;
after the inspiration phase, discontinuing the first pulsed electrical signal;
after the inspiration phase, measuring, via one or more sensors, a blood-protein level;
based on the measuring step, adjusting the second pulsed electrical signal to generate an adjusted second electrical signal, wherein adjusting the second pulsed electrical signal comprises:
adjusting a frequency;
adjusting an amplitude;
adjusting a pulse width;
adjusting a duration of the electrical signal; or
a combination thereof;
delivering the adjusted second electrical signal to the second nerve; and
while delivering the adjusted second electrical signal, delivering the first pulsed electrical signal to the first nerve.
