Fig. 4From: Lung-protective ventilation worsens ventilator-induced diaphragm atrophy and weaknessLPV decreased diaphragm forces. The frequency–force curve demonstrates decreased muscle forces in the LPV and the CV group as compared with the CON group. In addition, diaphragm forces in the LPV group were significantly lower than that in the CV group. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 vs. CON group; #p < 0.05 vs. CV groupBack to article page
