Diaphragm thickening fraction and inspiratory effort in patients with SARS-COV II pneumonia receiving different non-invasive respiratory supports. [PDF]
Pulmonology, 2023 The assessment of inspiratory effort in the patient with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (AHRF) can be performed invasively by measuring the oesophageal pressure swing (DPes) during the inspiratory act.1 The reduction in DPes after two hours of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with AHRF is a predictor of NIV success.2 The study of ...

Diaphragm Thickening Fraction as a Prognostic Imaging Marker for Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy Requiring the Trendelenburg Position and Pneumoperitoneum. [PDF]
Dis Markers, 2021 Background. Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) frequently entails postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) due to the Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum. Diaphragm thickening fraction (TF) as an imaging marker can offer the advantage of predicting respiratory outcomes. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of diaphragm TF on the

Point-of-Care Ultrasound Measurement of Diaphragm Thickening Fraction as a Predictor of Successful Extubation in Critically Ill Children. [PDF]
J Pediatr Intensive Care, 2023 AbstractVentilation-induced diaphragm dysfunction can delay weaning from mechanical ventilation. Identifying the optimal time for extubation has always been a challenge for intensivists. Diaphragm ultrasound is gaining immense popularity as a surrogate to measure diaphragm function. We attempted to assess the utility of diaphragm function in predicting

Correlation of diaphragm thickening fraction and oesophageal pressure swing in non-invasive ventilation of healthy subjects. [PDF]
BMC Pulm MedAbstract Introduction The diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) may be a valuable tool for estimating respiratory effort in non-invasive ventilation. The primary aim of this physiological study is the investigation of the correlation of DTF with oesophageal pressure swings (ΔPoes).
