Abstract
Example neurostimulation induced medicine devices and methods of use are described herein. An example endotracheal device can include an elongate tubular member having a proximal end and a distal end, an inflatable cuff arranged between the proximal and distal ends of the elongate tubular member, and an electrode array disposed in proximity to an exterior surface of the inflatable cuff. The inflatable cuff can be configured to expand to contact a subject's tracheal wall. Additionally, the electrode array can include a plurality of flexible electrodes, where a set of the flexible electrodes anatomically align with a region of the subject's tracheal wall for selectively targeting vagus nerve activity.
