(B) The Diaphragm ultrasound image of a patient with non-PPCs. (C) Differences in ED50 between PPCs and non-PPCs group; (D) Differences in ED85 between PPCs and non-PPCs group; (E) Differences in EDmean between PPCs and non-PPCs group (the round represents PPCs group; the diamond represents non-PPCs).
