Abstract

Diaphragmatic flutter is a rare phenomenon characterized by high-frequency, pulsatile contractions of the thorax and abdominal wall associated with breathlessness. We describe the case of a patient previously treated for status asthmaticus who had physical signs of diaphragmatic flutter. Respiratory inductive plethysmography confirmed the diagnosis, simplifying medical management.

摘要

膈扑动是一种罕见现象，其特征为胸部和腹壁的高频、搏动性收缩并伴有呼吸困难。我们描述了一例曾因哮喘持续状态接受治疗的患者出现膈扑动体征的病例。呼吸感应体积描记法确诊了该疾病，简化了医疗管理。
