Diaphragm thickening fraction predicts noninvasive ventilation outcome: a preliminary physiological study [PDF]

Critical Care, 2021
Background A correlation between unsuccessful noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and poor outcome has been suggested in de-novo Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) patients.

Diaphragm thickening fraction to predict weaning—a prospective exploratory study [PDF]

Journal of Intensive Care, 2017
Background Diaphragm ultrasound (DUS) is a well-established point of care modality for assessment of dimensional and functional aspects of the diaphragm. Amongst various measures, diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTf) is more comprehensive.

The ratio of respiratory rate to diaphragm thickening fraction for predicting extubation success [PDF]

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
Background Several parameters are used to predict successful extubation but their accuracy varies among studies. We hypothesized that combining conventional and diaphragmatic parameters would be more effective than using just one.

Use of diaphragm thickening fraction combined with rapid shallow breathing index for predicting success of weaning from mechanical ventilator in medical patients [PDF]

Journal of Intensive Care, 2018
Background Weaning failure is a crucial hindrance in critically ill patients. Rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), a well-known weaning index, has some limitations in predicting weaning outcomes.

Endobronchial valve treatment improves diaphragm function in severe emphysema patients [PDF]

ERJ Open Research
Background Diaphragm dysfunction is common in severe emphysema patients, primarily due to hyperinflation, placing the diaphragm at a mechanical disadvantage.

No association between thickening fraction of the diaphragm and extubation success in ventilated children [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
IntroductionIn mechanically ventilated adults, thickening fraction of diaphragm (dTF) measured by ultrasound is used to predict extubation success. Whether dTF can also predict extubation success in children is unclear.AimTo investigate the association ...

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 ...
