Other symptoms include: Problems with the hiccups. The hiccup reflex can be triggered by phrenic nerve irritation, making the diaphragm contract abnormally, resulting in a small intake of air.[averybiomedical.com]

Kaufman shares an article on diaphragm paralysis and phrenic nerve treatment In my experience with cases of diaphragm paralysis (caused by injury to the phrenic nerve) there are unfortunately many people unable to find and receive treatment.[advancedreconstruction.com]
Treatment should be considered when dyspnea is out of proportion to the physical exertion. Medical care should be focused on the etiology of the dysfunction. In anatomic causes and defects, the only treatment option is surgical repair.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment options include: Observation with or without supportive treatment (if the patient has no symptoms or the symptoms are mild, and the patient is in otherwise good health or there is a chance that recovery can occur spontaneously).[cedars-sinai.edu]

Prognosis The prognosis for unilateral paralysis is good, providing there is no underlying significant pulmonary or cardiac disease. Some patients recover without medical intervention.[cedars-sinai.edu]
What is the prognosis for patients managed in the recommended ways? The prognosis in diaphragm paralysis depends on the underlying cause. With phrenic nerve injury following cardiac surgery, 80% recover in six months, and 90% recover in one year.[clinicaladvisor.com]
[…] the time, the injury is repaired during laparotomy. [10] Other injuries, such as hemothorax, may present a more immediate threat and may need to be treated first if they accompany diaphragmatic rupture. [4] Video-assisted thoracoscopy may be used. [7] Prognosis[en.wikipedia.org]
I asked if it would get better or worse and the nurse told me it would not get better, but would not comment on whether it would get worse or a prognosis. I'm not happy that the doctor chose not to speak to me regarding the diagnosis.[medhelp.org]

Effectiveness in preventing pregnancy On average, the diaphragm user failure rate is 12%. This means that 12 women out of 100 become pregnant in the first year of typical use.[northshore.org]
After plication, the height of diaphragm is lowered by one or two ribs, helping the lungs inflate properly and prevent abdominal contents from pushing into the chest. Chest tubes are placed to drain fluid or air that accumulates.[bcm.edu]
Currently, there is no known way to prevent a CDH. Early and regular prenatal care during pregnancy is important to help detect the problem before birth. This allows for proper planning and care before, during, and after delivery.[healthline.com]
