Hello everyone. I am looking for a medical device to measure trans-diaphragmatic pressure. We know this can be done by combining the measurements of abdominal pressure measured with a gastric catheter, and pleural pressure, as assessed with an esophageal catheter. Does anyone know of a medical device that can combine and digitize these measurements directly, or any other off-the-shelf way to make the measurement?

Thank you in advance for your help! Have a great day.

Marc

	Private answer Antonio Albanese I am not aware of any device that can measure transdiaphragmatic pressure. If measuring the electrical activity of the diaphragm Edi is something of interest to you as well, other than NAVA which requires to use a ventilator, you could look into DIPHA surface EMG by Macawi.

	Private answer Antonio Albanese I am not aware of any device that can measure trans-diaphragmatic pressure. However, if diaphragmatic electrical activity Edi is something of equal interest to you, in addition to NAVA which requires using a ventilator, you could look into DIPHA surface EMG by Macawi http://www.macawi.com/products-services/. I hope this helps. Marked as spam Report spam
