“…He, more than anyone, made the respiratory group at the University of Calgary the strong program that it is today. There, he published papers on the structure-function relationships of the diaphragm (86,87). To my knowledge, he was the first to downplay the curvature of the diaphragm dome as an important source of transdiaphragmatic pressure, while he emphasized the importance of the diaphragm's length-tension characteristics (87).…”

I t is an almost impossible task to describe Canadian contributions to respiratory physiology and pathophysiology. There have been so many and they have been so important that it is difficult to pick and choose. Inevitably, there will be omissions; inevitably, some of us will not be pleased; and inevitably, one is biased by one's own experience. This will affect what I write, no matter how much I strive for objectivity. I apologize to anyone whose contributions I should have described but failed to do so. And to those whose work I do describe, I hope I have got it right. The focus of the present review is on the roots of respiratory physiological and pathophysiological research in Canada, and how this led to a contribution to the world literature far greater than what one might predict from our small population. While this legacy is still as strong today, only rarely do I refer to papers published in the past 25 years. The seeds planted in the late 1920s and early 1930s grew rapidly in the 1950s and came into full bloom in the 1960s and 1970s. The present story is about this period, and it is a story about individuals and places, as much as it is about the vast amount of new knowledge that was created. Fortunately, the flowers are perennials and the garden is more beautiful than ever, but that is another story.

“…50 In such situations, the measurement of the transdiaphragmatic pressure with gastric and esophageal catheters may be the only diagnostic tool available for a definitive diagnosis. 50,51 Esophageal pressure closely reflects intrapleural pressure, and gastric pressure reflects intrabdominal pressure. 49 Kohorst et al found that in patients with bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis, inspiration decreased both esophageal and gastric pressures, and that during inspiration, transdiaphragmatic pressure failed to increase above baseline (normal > 20 cm H 2 O).…”

Compared to the neurologic morbidity of stroke and cognitive dysfunction, "other" neurologic complications involving injuries to the brachial plexus, phrenic nerve, cranial nerves, other peripheral nerves, as well as the visual pathways, have been disproportionately underrepresented in the cardiac surgery and anesthesiology literature. These injuries are often missed in the early postoperative period when attention is focused principally on recovery from the acute trespass of cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass. However, when these problems do become apparent, they can cause considerable discomfort and morbidity. An overview of the current concepts of injury mechanisms/etiology, diagnosis, prognosis, and when possible, prevention of these injuries is presented.
