A narrative review of diaphragm ultrasound to predict weaning from mechanical ventilation: where are we and where are we heading? [PDF]
The Ultrasound Journal, 2019 Background The use of ultrasound to visualize the diaphragm is well established. Over the last 15 years, certain indices of diaphragm function, namely diaphragm thickness, thickening fraction and excursion have been established for mechanically ...

Diaphragm Ultrasound: A Valuable Predictor of the Outcome of Extubation. An Observational Pilot Study in Covid-19 Related ARDS. [PDF]
Arch Clin Biomed Res, 2022 Introduction Because both early and delayed weaning are associated with increased mortality, longer stay in the ICU and higher economic costs, performing extubation once the patient can cope with the respiratory load is completely recommended. Ultrasound

Diaphragm Ultrasound in Critically Ill Patients on Mechanical Ventilation—Evolving Concepts [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2023 Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving respiratory support therapy, but MV can lead to diaphragm muscle injury (myotrauma) and induce diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD).

Diaphragm Ultrasound in Cardiac Surgery: State of the Art [PDF]
Medicines, 2022 In cardiac surgery, patients are at risk of phrenic nerve injury, which leads to diaphragm dysfunction and acute respiratory failure. Diaphragm dysfunction (DD) is relatively frequent in cardiac surgery and particularly affects patients after coronary ...
