Early changes in diaphragmatic function evaluated using ultrasound in cardiac surgery patients: a cohort study. [PDF]

, 2020
Little is known about the evolution of diaphragmatic function in the early post-cardiac surgery period. The main purpose of this work is to describe its evolution using ultrasound measurements of muscular excursion and thickening fraction (TF).

Predictive Value of Ultrasonic Diaphragm Thickening Fraction on Successful Weaning in Postoperative Cardiothoracic Surgery Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) [PDF]

QJM: An International Journal of Medicine
Abstract Background The diaphragm is the most important muscle of respiration and is largely responsible for the change in the intra thoracic pressure. In mechanically ventilated patients, the diaphragm can develop atrophy and weakness leading to prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation.

High flow oxygen therapy and the work of breathing assessed by thickening fraction of the diaphragm (TFdi): just a side of the moon in cystic fibrosis patients? [PDF]

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2019
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting disorder affecting approximately 70,000 individuals worldwide. Over the past three decades, the median predicted survival rate of CF patients has critically improved thanks to therapies that better address serious complications of the disease (i.e., treatment of pulmonary infections, suppression of airway ...

Ultrasound assessment of the respiratory system using diaphragm motion-volume indices

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
BackgroundAlthough previous studies have determined limit values of normality for diaphragm excursion and thickening, it would be beneficial to determine the normal diaphragm motion-to-inspired volume ratio that integrates the activity of the diaphragm ...

Ultrasound Assessment of Diaphragm Thickness and Thickening: Reference Values and Limits of Normality When in a Seated Position

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Background: Diagnosing diaphragm dysfunction in the absence of complete paralysis remains difficult. The aim of the present study was to assess the normal values of the thickness and the inspiratory thickening of both hemidiaphragms as measured by ...

Diaphragm function and weaning from mechanical ventilation: an ultrasound and phrenic nerve stimulation clinical study

Annals of Intensive Care, 2018
Background Diaphragm dysfunction is defined by a value of twitch tracheal pressure in response to magnetic phrenic stimulation (twitch pressure) amounting to less than 11 cmH2O.
