Objective Twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure is used to evaluate the diaphragm function of mechanical ventilated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients before weaning in the intensive care unit, and compared with healthy normal values.Methods Patients were recruited if they were with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, admitted between May to November in 2013 and December 2014 to February 2016 to the intensive care unit in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, intubated and mechanical ventilated more than 72 hours, and recovered to the clinical stability states after passing the readiness to wean, getting ready for spontaneous breathing test. The newly designed esophageal electrode catheter and bilateral anterolateral magnetic phrenic nerves stimulation were utilized to detect the twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure. At the same time, the function of diaphragm was detected in 10 healthy adults for comparison.Results Twenty-two patients were recruited in this study. Two cases had no twitch signals. In the rest 20 cases, the twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure was (7.6±2.5) cm H₂O. In 10 healthy adults, twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure was (26.7±4.9) cm H₂O. There was significant difference between the patients and the health control subjects (P<0.05).Conclusion Twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure is significantly decreased in weaning chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients compared with healthy adults.
