✦ Synopsis

To refine the technique of phrenic nerve conduction, we first studied electrode positioning and sources of chest wall artifact. Diaphragmatic compound motor action potentials (DCMAPs) were mapped at close intervals over 4 hemithoraces of two subjects, finding optimum recording sites which were then used to quantitate artifacts due to EKG, chest wall EMG, and configurational thoracic changes of respiration. Based on these findings, 20 normal subjects were studied, showing ease of application and good sideto-side agreement for DCMAP latencies; but, in contrast to prior reports, right-to-left correlation for amplitude and waveform was poor, making the unaffected side an unreliable standard in unilateral partial phrenic nerve lesions.

## Abstract In our clinical work we have occasionally encountered difficulties (e.g., no response, concomitant brachial plexus stimulation) in performing phrenic nerve conduction studies. The aim of this study was to overcome these difficulties and obtain our own set of normative data. In 29 health

Diaphragmatic action potentials (DAPs) were mapped on the thorax bilaterally in 16 neurologically normal infants and 8 boys aged 1 to 4 years during artificial ventilation after thoracic surgery. Transcutaneous stimulation was used to activate the phrenic nerve at the supraclavicular fossa at the en
