Effects of Anesthesia and Paralysis on Diaphragmatic Mechanics in Man

Anesthesiology · 1974 · Vol. 41(3) · pp. 242–255

Abstract

Using a radiologic technique, the position and pattern of movement of the diaphragm have been evaluated in three adult volunteers, both awake and anesthetized, during spontaneous ventilation and with muscle paralysis and mechanical ventilation. Studies were made with the subjects in supine and left
