We describe an ultrasound (US)-guided technique for needle examination of the diaphragm and report a case in which the adjuvant use of diagnostic US in conjunction with electrophysiologic studies provided additional information regarding the motion of the diaphragm in a patient who was a potential candidate for phrenic nerve pacing. US imaging provides excellent direct and real-time visualization of soft tissue, anatomic landmarks, fascial planes, and neurovascular structures. It thereby enhances safety by avoiding accidental needle puncture of vital organs, and it also increases the diagnostic utility of the needle examination.
我们描述了一种用于膈肌针检的超声（US）引导技术，并报告了一例病例，在该病例中，诊断性超声与电生理研究联合辅助使用，为一名可能适合膈神经起搏的患者提供了有关膈肌运动的更多信息。超声成像能对软组织、解剖标志、筋膜平面和神经血管结构进行出色的直接实时可视化。因此，它通过避免意外针刺重要器官提高了安全性，还增加了针检的诊断效用。
