Standardization of Sonographic Diaphragm Thickness Evaluations in Healthy Volunteers [PDF]

Respiratory Care, 2016
B-mode ultrasound can be used to measure diaphragm thickness at the zone of apposition. We believe it is necessary to develop normal values for diaphragm thickness at rest in a large group of healthy subjects and compare them with international results.Ultrasound measurements of diaphragm thickness at expiratory rest were taken in 109 healthy ...
