Nursing-based precision assessment of nutrition and muscle status without ultrasound: a prospective observational study in mechanically ventilated neurosurgical patients [PDF]
Frontiers in MedicineBackgroundCritically ill neurosurgical patients on prolonged mechanical ventilation rapidly develop muscle wasting and malnutrition that hinder weaning and recovery. Ultrasound is useful but not always available for routine nursing assessment.

Mask CPAP Increases Diaphragm Thickening Fraction in Healthy Subjects [PDF]
, 2023 Abstract Purpose This is a physiological study to determine the effect of continuous positive airway pressure and inspiratory support pressure on respiratory effort measured by diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) during non-invasive respiratory support in healthy volunteers.

The Relationship Between Esophageal Pressure and Diaphragm Thickening Fraction in Spontaneously Breathing Sedated Children: A Feasibility Study [PDF]
Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, 2023 OBJECTIVES: Diaphragm ultrasound is a novel alternative to esophageal pressure measurements in the evaluation of diaphragm function and activity, but data about its reliability in a pediatric setting are lacking. We aimed to compare the esophageal pressure swing (∆Pes, gold standard) with the diaphragmatic thickening fraction ...

Association between diaphragm excursion and whole-body muscle mass in older adults: an observational study [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSymptoms of diaphragm dysfunction, such as exertional dyspnea and decreased exercise tolerance, share similarities with the symptoms of skeletal muscle mass reduction caused by conditions like sarcopenia.

Diaphragm Ultrasonography: Reference Values and Influencing Factors for Thickness, Thickening Fraction, and Excursion in the Seated Position [PDF]
Lung, 2023 Abstract Introduction Measurements of diaphragm function by ultrasonography are affected by body position, but reference values in the seated position have not been established for an Asian population. This study aimed to determine reference values for diaphragm thickness, thickening fraction, and dome excursion by ...

Association between preoperative diaphragm thickening fraction and postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing thoracoscopic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer [PDF]
This single-center, prospective, cohort study enrolled patients with esophageal cancer who were scheduled to undergo thoracoscopic esophagectomy between June 2021 and May 2024. Diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) was measured using ultrasound imaging at preoperatively.

Poor Correlation between Diaphragm Thickening Fraction and Transdiaphragmatic Pressure in Mechanically Ventilated Patients and Healthy Subjects [PDF]
Anesthesiology, 2021 Background The relationship between the diaphragm thickening fraction and the transdiaphragmatic pressure, the reference method to evaluate the diaphragm function, has not been clearly established. This study investigated the global and intraindividual relationship between the thickening fraction of the diaphragm and the ...

Role of ventilator and ultrasound parameters in predicting extubation success [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe gold standard method for an accurate and easy way to predict successful weaning has not been established. The study was aimed to determine the predictive values of airway occlusion pressure (P0.1), parasternal intercostal muscle, and diaphragm for ...
