Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find different square metric root (RMS) values between the right and left diaphragmatic domes with and without the use of positive pressure by the mechanical ventilator by performing surface electromyography. Also, it is expected that the left hemicule is more active due to the right disability, that is, it is expected to find higher value RMS (microvolts) when the left hemisphere is evaluated in relation to the right hemicule, which may demonstrate a greater recruitment of motor units to perform the same movement;It is expected to show the most active left hemicuvile due to right-hand disability, thus evidencing the overload of the left dome and suggesting that positive pressure assists in diaphragmatic muscle function | — |
