Figure 4

Distribution of ratios between peak inspiratory electrical activity of the diaphragm without assist to peak inspiratory electrical activity of the diaphragm with assist. Histograms showing distribution of all electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) matching index values (EAdipk,no-assist/EAdipk,assist) when calculated using a single assisted breath (left) or using the average of five breaths preceding the non-assisted breath (right). Of all the breaths, 78% fell between 0.77 and 1.30.
