Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>M‐mode sonography is already being used to study diaphragmatic motion, but to our knowledge, there is no sonographic information regarding diaphragmatic kinetics under the influence of variable respiratory loads; this study examines the special sonographic features of diaphragmatic excursion pattern during inspiratory resistive loading.</p> </abstract>
