Explorations of Unilateral Diaphragmatic Paralysis
Figure 2
Esophageal pressure, gastric pressure, and transdiaphragmatic pressure induced by unilateral phrenic nerve magnetic stimulation (Pes, ums, Pgas, ums, and Pdi, ums). Distribution of values for each side, between patients with normal diaphragmatic explorations and patients with diaphragmatic paralysis, expressed in cmH2O. For patients with diaphragmatic dysfunction, results are divided according to the side of the injury. Asterisk denotes significant difference with normal patients ().
