Recently Sun et al (Nature 621, 493 (2023)) reported on the discovery ofhigh-temperature superconductivity in highly-compressedLa$_3$Ni$_2$O$_{7-\delta}$. In addition to ongoing studies of the phasestructural transition, pairing mechanism, and other properties/parameters inthis highly-pressurized nickelate, here explore a possibility for theelectron-phonon pairing mechanism in the La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_{7-\delta}$. To dothis, we analyzed experimental data on temperature dependent resistance,$R(T)$, and extracted pressure dependent Debye temperature, $\Theta_D$, for the$Fmmm$-phase (high-pressure phase). Derived ballpark value is $\Theta_D(P = 25GPa) = 550$ $K$. We also estimated the electron-phonon coupling constant,$\lambda_{e-ph}(P=22.4 GPa) = 1.75$, for La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_{7-\delta}$ sampleexhibited zero-resistance transition. Performed analysis of XRD data showedthat the crystal lattice strain, $\epsilon(P)$, is higher in the $Fmmm$-phasein comparison with the $Amam$-phase (low-pressure phase). Based on performed$\epsilon(P)$ analysis, we proposed possible reason for the presence/absence ofthe zero-resistance state in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_{7-\delta}$.
