Diagnosis of Hemidiaphragmatic Paresis in a Preterm Infant with Transcutaneous Electromyography: A Case Report.

Abstract:

:Transcutaneous electromyography of the diaphragm (dEMG) is a noninvasive and easy applicable tool to measure the electrical activity of the diaphragm. dEMG monitoring has recently been introduced in the neonatal intensive care unit as a novel cardiorespiratory monitor providing direct information on diaphragmatic breathing activity. We report a preterm infant with suspected paresis of the right diaphragm measured with transcutaneous dEMG, which showed a clear reduction in the electrical activity of the right-sided diaphragm. In conclusion, dEMG provides valuable information on regional diaphragmatic activity, which can assist the clinician in diagnosing hemidiaphragmatic paresis.
