Lung volume should be standardized for transdiaphragmatic twitch measurements; Level 5 data leave open clinical standardization.
Does lung volume and chest wall shape affect transdiaphragmatic twitch pressure amplitude in volunteers?
The variability of transdiaphragmatic twitch pressure with chest wall shape is small compared with its expected decrease with increased lung volume.
Hubmayr et al. (1989) studied this question.
