Ultrasound imaging measurements to determine reduced diaphragm thickness and relevance to breathing pattern disorders diagnosis in females

open access: yesWFUMB Ultrasound Open, 2023
Background: Breathing pattern disorders (BPD) are commonly managed by physiotherapists. As no gold-standard assessment diagnostic tools are currently available, diagnosis is challenging. Ultrasound imaging has become popular in physiotherapy.

The increase in diaphragm thickness in preterm infants is related to birth weight: a pilot study

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pediatrics, 2023
Diaphragm ultrasound (DU) has been used in adult and pediatric critical patients in relation to prediction of extubation success or to detect diaphragm dysfunction, but there is a lack of evidence in neonates.

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

open access: yesCritical 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 ...
