Research progress on the pathogenesis and treatment of ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction [PDF]
Prolonged controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) can cause diaphragm fiber atrophy and inspiratory muscle weakness, resulting in diaphragmatic contractile dysfunction, called ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD).

First Evaluation of Ultrafast Ultrasound Coupled With Phrenic Stimulation for Noninvasive Diagnosis of Diaphragm Dysfunction [PDF]
Background Diaphragm dysfunction is an important and often unrecognized cause of dyspnea. The current gold standard, transdiaphragmatic twitch pressure (Pdi,tw), requires oesophageal and gastric balloon catheters and is infrequently used in routine care.
