Recruitment pattern of the diaphragm and extradiaphragmatic inspiratory muscles in response to different levels of pressure support 2020-05-29 .txt text/plain 4538 279 46 Diaphragm and extradiaphragmatic inspiratory muscle activity increased in response to lower PS levels (36 ± 6% increase for the diaphragm, 30 ± 6% parasternal intercostals, 41 ± 6% scalene, 40 ± 8% sternocleidomastoid, 43 ± 6% alae nasi and 30 ± 6% genioglossus). In previous studies, surface EMG has been used in ventilated ICU patients to evaluate activity of the extradiaphragmatic inspiratory muscles, including alae nasi, parasternal intercostals [26] , scalene [26, 27] , sternocleidomastoid and genioglossus [26] [27] [28] . Therefore, the aim of the current study is to investigate in invasively ventilated ICU patients the recruitment pattern of extradiaphragmatic inspiratory muscles with respect to the diaphragm in response to different inspiratory support levels and to evaluate agreement between activity of the extradiaphragmatic inspiratory muscles and the diaphragm.
