AB Patients with chronic spinal cord injury suffer from a number of pathophysiological alterations that can lead to important morbidity and mortality in the perioperative period. The diaphragmatic pacemaker is a device that enables pulmonary ventilation in patients with high cervical cord injuries and provides them with a better quality of life when compared to mechanical ventilation. We present here the clinical case of a patient with chronic spinal cord injury who used a diaphragmatic pacemaker, and who was scheduled for percutaneous nephrolithotomy and double-J stent implantation. The anesthesiologist should know the pathophysiological situation of these patients in order to provide a safe perioperatory care.
