Diaphragm dysfunction is common following bilateral-lung transplantation and associated with difficult weaning. In such patients, average values for TFdi and NVE were reduced compared to patients with simple weaning. Both parameters showed similar accuracy for predicting success of ventilator weaning, demonstrating an inverse relationship with duration of ventilation.
