| Abstract |
Diaphragmatic plication to help ventilation weaning of an adult obese patient after cardiac surgery is very uncommon. Diaphragm paralysis is usually treated with conservative measures and ventilator support, after which surgical management is considered after months of medical monitoring. We report the case of a morbidly obese patient to whom ventilation weaning was unsuccessful following coronary artery bypass graft operation with mitral valve replacement. A de novo right hemidiaphragm elevation was seen on the chest X-ray. Diaphragmatic plication was performed promptly to treat severe respiratory insufficiency and generated favorable outcomes. Early diaphragmatic plication could be considered in the postoperative period of cardiothoracic surgery to facilitate management and ventilation weaning in the context of de novo diaphragm paralysis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 September 2018.
All research outputs
#18,650,639
of 23,105,443 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
#649
of 1,252 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#261,436
of 341,556 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
#15
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,105,443 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,252 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,556 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
