Whatever the manoeuvre, there was no correlation between Pes and Pdi, but Pga and Pdi were correlated during both the diaphragmatic (r=0.82, P<0.05) and the extradiaphragmatic manoeuvre (r=0.70, P< 0.05). Pes,sn may have limitations as an index of diaphragm function, but by showing its ...
CONCLUSIONS The fluoroscopic sniff test was proven to be an accurate, reliable, and simple tool to evaluate phrenic nerve function in patients with traumatic BPI. Preoperative testing should be performed to reduce operative time to identify the phrenic nerve as a donor for nerve transfer surgery in...
In fact, mild-to-moderate respiratory muscle weakness may be present even when FVC is normal, and ALS patients with bulbar involvement might not be able to perform correctly the spirometry test. Sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP) is correlated with transdiaphragmatic strength. We evaluated ...
