From: Unilateral diaphragm paralysis: a dysfunction restricted not just to one hemidiaphragm
Ultrasound data of the paralyzed and normal hemidiaphragms. Mobility during quiet breathing (a) and deep breathing (b); Thickness during FRC (c) and TLC (d); Thickness Fraction (e) and PdiTWU / ThTLC ratio (f). FRC: forced residual capacity; TLC: total lung capacity; PdiTWU / ThTLC: ratio between transdiaphragmatic pressure during unilateral stimuli and thickness during TLC. *p < 0.001 paralyzed hemidiaphragm vs non-paralyzed hemidiaphragm. Underlined numbers mean the mean value
