This is the case of a 55-year-old patient admitted to the ICU after cardiac surgery to repair an ostium secundum-type interatrial communication and anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. After uneventful extubation is performed, the patient remains with hypoxemia and no alterations on the thoracic x-ray. The pulmonary ultrasound performed confirms the presence of a reduced right diaphragmatic movement compared to the left one (Video 1). Diaphragmatic excursion is measured with presence of a 16 mm reduced right excursion compared to a 60 mm left excursion (Fig. 1). These findings are consistent with right diaphragmatic paralysis associated with a probable lesion of the ipsilateral phrenic nerve during surgery. Conservative therapy with incentive spirometers is used. The patient progressed favorably until hospital discharge with persistent diaphragmatic dysfunction on the ultrasound.
