Diaphragmatic dysfunction

Pulmonology, 2019
The diaphragm is the main breathing muscle and contraction of the diaphragm is vital for ventilation so any disease that interferes with diaphragmatic innervation, contractile muscle function, or mechanical coupling to the chest wall can cause diaphragm ...

Ultrasound and non-ultrasound imaging techniques in the assessment of diaphragmatic dysfunction

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021
Diaphragm muscle dysfunction is increasingly recognized as an important element of several diseases including neuromuscular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diaphragm dysfunction in critically ill patients.

Diaphragm function in patients with Covid-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Annals of Intensive Care, 2023
Background Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is frequently associated with deep sedation and neuromuscular blockades, that may lead to diaphragm dysfunction.

Diaphragm Ultrasound in Cardiac Surgery: State of the Art

Medicines, 2022
In cardiac surgery, patients are at risk of phrenic nerve injury, which leads to diaphragm dysfunction and acute respiratory failure. Diaphragm dysfunction (DD) is relatively frequent in cardiac surgery and particularly affects patients after coronary ...

Diaphragm dysfunction predicts weaning outcome after bilateral lung transplant [PDF]

, 2023
Background: Diaphragm dysfunction and its effects on outcomes of ventilator weaning have been evaluated in mixed critical care populations using diaphragm thickening fraction (TFdi; the ratio of the difference between ultrasound diaphragm thickness at ...

Early changes in rat diaphragm biology with mechanical ventilation [PDF]

, 2003
To better characterize the effects of 24-hour mechanical ventilation on diaphragm, the expression of myogenic transcription factors, myosin heavy chains, and sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium-ATPase pumps was examined in rats.

Thickening fraction as a measure of ultrasonographic diaphragm dysfunction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Clinical Neurophysiology Practice, 2020
Objective: Respiratory failure is the most common cause of death in ALS patients secondary to diaphragmatic dysfunction. Herein, we report three ALS patients, and we sought to determine the diaphragm dysfunction by the measurement of ultrasonographic ...

Altered expression of microRNAs in the rat diaphragm in a model of ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction after controlled mechanical ventilation

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD) is a common complication of life support by mechanical ventilation observed in critical patients in clinical practice and may predispose patients to severe complications such as ventilator ...

Acceptability and use of the diaphragm and Replens lubricant gel for HIV prevention in Southern Africa. [PDF]

, 2009
The acceptability and use of the diaphragm and lubricant gel were assessed as part of a large randomized controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of the methods in women's HIV acquisition.
