Predicting extubation readiness by monitoring the electrical activity of the diaphragm after prolonged mechanical ventilation: a pediatric case report
Abstract Background The intensity of the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) correlates with inspiratory effort. The ratio of tidal volume to the Edi is known as neuroventilatory efficiency (NVE) and is used as an index for ventilation efficiency. Here, we present a case showing that Edi and...
