The present studies were designed to test the validity of this conclusion. A flail was induced in six supine anesthetized animals by fracturing both dorsally and ventrally the second to fifth ribs on the right side of the chest, after which the phrenic nerve roots were bilaterally sectioned in the neck. Sectioning the phrenic nerves caused a 34% decrease in \u0394 Ppl, associated with a 39% increase in parasternal intercostal inspiratory EMG activity (p &amp;lt; 0.05), and resulted in a marked reduction in the inspiratory inward displacement of the ribs. In three animals, the inward rib displacement was even reversed into a small outward displacement. When the airway was then occluded at end-expiration to increase \u0394 Ppl during the subsequent inspiration, all animals again showed a clear-cut inward rib displacement. These observations therefore confirm that in dogs with flail chest, the inspiratory displacement of the fractured ribs is set by the balance between the force related to pleural pressure and that generated by the parasternal intercostals. These observations also point to the critical importance of the pattern of inspiratory muscle activation in determining the magnitude of rib cage paradox in such patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.159.3.9807089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,4]],"date-time":"2013-04-04T13:53:03Z","timestamp":1365083583000},"page":"886-891","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Determinants of Rib Motion in Flail Chest"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"159","author":[{"given":"MATTEO","family":"CAPPELLO","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Cardiorespiratory Physiology, Brussels School of Medicine, and Departments of Chest Medicine and Surgery, Erasme University Hospital, Brussels, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ALEXANDRE","family":"LEGRAND","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Cardiorespiratory Physiology, Brussels School of Medicine, and Departments of Chest Medicine and Surgery, Erasme University Hospital, Brussels, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ANDR\u00c9","family":"DE TROYER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Cardiorespiratory Physiology, Brussels School of Medicine, and Departments of Chest Medicine and Surgery, Erasme University Hospital, Brussels, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1999,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026032708575701100_B1"},{"key":"2026032708575701100_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm\/140.1.31","article-title":"Chest wall distortion in patients with flail chest.","volume":"140","author":"Tzelepis","year":"1989","journal-title":"Am.
