Figure 5From: Non-Invasive monitoring of diaphragmatic timing by means of surface contact sensors: An experimental study in dogs Diaphragmatic contraction period monitoring. Contraction period (TC) estimated with thoracic cage motion (MT: thin solid line), diaphragm length (DL: thick solid line), respiratory airflow (FL: dotted line) and transdiaphragmatic pressure (DP: dashed line) signals versus duration of the respiratory tests in seconds, for the three dogs in the spontaneous ventilations without anaesthesia (SVN), spontaneous ventilations with anaesthesia (SVW) and inspiratory load with anaesthesia (ILW) respiratory tests.Back to article page
