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

Measuring Diaphragm Thickness and Function Using Point-of-Care Ultrasound.
The diaphragm is the main component of the respiratory muscle pump. Diaphragm dysfunction can cause dyspnea and exercise intolerance, and predisposes affected individuals to respiratory failure.
