Table 1 Classification of diaphragm motion
Classification | Definition |
Normal motion | The amplitude of diaphragmatic excursion is > 4 mm, and the difference of amplitude between the hemidiaphragms is < 50% |
Decreased motion | The amplitude of diaphragmatic excursion is ≤ 4 mm and the difference of amplitude is > 50% |
Absent motion | Absent motion is considered by a flat line trace |
Paradoxical motion | Paradoxical motion is considered when diaphragm moves away from the transducer in inspiration |
