Assisted mechanical ventilation promotes recovery of diaphragmatic thickness in critically ill patients: a prospective observational study

Critical Care, 2020
Background Diaphragm atrophy and dysfunction are consequences of mechanical ventilation and are determinants of clinical outcomes. We hypothesize that partial preservation of diaphragm function, such as during assisted modes of ventilation, will restore ...

The effect of steroid administration on fetal diaphragm function

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2022
Background Antenatal steroid administrations lead to not only accelerated lung maturation, improved blood gas measurements but also lung dynamics and lung compliance.

The relationship between diaphragm muscle thickness, respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength in athletes

ROL Spor Bilimleri Dergisi, 2023
The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between diaphragmatic muscle thickness, respiratory function parameters and respiratory muscle strength in elite athlete groups. Cross-sectional method was used as research design. 58 male students (

The impact of critical illness on the expiratory muscles and the diaphragm assessed by ultrasound in mechanical ventilated children

Annals of Intensive Care, 2020
Background Critical illness has detrimental effects on the diaphragm, but the impact of critical illness on other major muscles of the respiratory pump has been largely neglected.

The Effects of Early Rehabilitation and Diaphragm Kinesiotaping on Diaphragm Muscle Thickness in Patients with Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia in the Intensive Care Unit

Turkish Journal of Internal Medicine, 2023
Objective The efficacy of early rehabilitation in patients in the intensive care unit is apparent. However, it is still unclear in COVID-19 patients. Also, the effects of diaphragm kinesiotaping on outcomes and muscle thickness were not shown previously.

PZT-Film-Based Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer with I-Shaped Composite Diaphragm

Micromachines, 2022
We proposed a PZT-film-based piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducer (pMUT) with an I-shaped composite diaphragm to improve the sensitivity and resonant frequency of pMUTs with the same diaphragm area. The finite element method (FEM) simulation

Comparison Of Diaphragm Thickness Values In Cases of Adenotonsillectomy Before And After The Operation

Acta Medica Alanya, 2023
Aim: The ultrasonographic assessment in the operating room tends to increase daily, and ultrasonography is a method used to evaluate the thickness of the diaphragm.

Phrenic nerve stimulation prevents diaphragm atrophy in patients with respiratory failure on mechanical ventilation

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021
Background Diaphragm atrophy and dysfunction is a major problem among critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation. Ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction is thought to play a major role, resulting in a failure of weaning.

Anatomical Variation in Diaphragm Thickness Assessed with Ultrasound in Healthy Volunteers

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2022
Ultrasonography of the diaphragm in the zone of apposition has become increasingly popular to evaluate muscle thickness and thickening fraction. However, measurements in this anatomical location are frequently hindered by factors that constrain physical accessibility or that alter diaphragm position.
