Left hemidiaphragm elevation is frequently noted following cardiac surgery employing topical hypothermia. We speculate that contact of the left phrenic nerve with ice causes nerve injury, resulting in left hemidiaphragm paresis or paralysis and left lower lobe atelectasis. Left diaphragm elevation was noted on postoperative chest x-ray examination of 36 of 60 (60 percent) consecutive patients i...
