Four examples of electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) waveform irregularities during an end-expiratory occlusion. The blue line represents the EAdi signal expressed in microvolts. The orange line represent the airway pressure (Paw) expressed in centimeters of water. a Slope < 0 during the ascending part of the EAdi waveform. b Delay in start of EAdi peak. c EAdi peak cut off. d Split EAdi peak
