Early results of plication of the diaphragm following phrenic nerve palsy in symptomatic patients who underwent paediatric cardiac surgery are encouraging. Evaluation of the diaphragmatic function should be a routine part of post-operative echocardiography. Diaphragm paralysis may be a consequence of dissection, contusion, stretching, and thermal injury both in terms of hypothermia and hyperthermia.
