Fig 5. Diaphragmatic Outcomes.

Fig 5

A. Transdiaphragmatic pressure measurement: airflow recording showing tracheostomy occlusion with halt of airflow (red arrow), increase in Pdi (black arrow). B. Pdi increases in Sham and Gore-Tex implanted animals following tracheostomy occlusion, C. Increase in Pdi as a % change at rest and following occlusion, D. Right hemi diaphragmatic muscle fiber cross sectional (μm2) area is increased in Gore-Tex implanted animals. Poes: oesophageal pressure, Pab: abdominal pressure, Pdi: transdiaphragmatic pressure.
