In the critically ill, respiratory muscle strength usually has been assessed by measuring maximum inspiratory pressure. The maneuver is volitional, and results can be unreliable. The nonvolitional technique of bilateral anterolateral magnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerves, producing twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure, has been successful in normal subjects and ambulatory patients. In this study we used the technique in the intensive care unit and explored the measurement of twitch endotracheal tube pressure as a less invasive technique to assess diaphragmatic contractility.
