Diaphragm Ultrasound: Physiology and Applications

2021
Diaphragm ultrasound is a highly feasible and noninvasive technique for assessing the physiological function of the diaphragm. Ultrasound permits qualitative and quantitative assessment of diaphragm structure, contractility, and strength (shortening capacity). These measurements have proven invaluable to a variety of research and clinical applications.

Monitoring Recovery From Diaphragm Paralysis With Ultrasound

Chest, 2008
Diaphragmatic paralysis is an uncommon, yet underdiagnosed cause of dyspnea. Data regarding the time course and potential for recovery has come from a few small case series. The methods that have been traditionally employed to diagnose diaphragmatic weakness or paralysis are either invasive or limited in sensitivity and specificity.

Ultrasound for assessment of diaphragm in ALS

Clinical Neurophysiology, 2016
To evaluate the correlation between diaphragm thickness assessed by ultrasound (US) with respiratory function tests and the diaphragm motor responses, in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).42 consecutive ALS patients were studied (11 with bulbar-onset), excluding patients with marked orofacial paresis. Investigation included: revised ALS

Utility Of diaphragm ultrasound in myopathy.

Muscle & nerve, 2016
Ultrasound (US) evaluation of diaphragm thickness and contractility is an effective tool in neurogenic diaphragm dysfunction. There are limited data about the value of this technique in patients with myopathy.We performed a retrospective chart review of cases with electromyography (EMG) -confirmed myopathy and real-time US evaluation of the diaphragm ...

Ultrasound Evaluation of the Paralyzed Diaphragm

American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine, 1997
Abstract Ultrasound has been used to evaluate diaphragm thickness in the zone of apposition of the diaphragm to the rib cage. The purpose of this study was to determine if ultrasonography could distinguish between a paralyzed and normally functioning diaphragm. We predicted that a paralyzed diaphragm would be atrophic and not shorten,

Diaphragm Ultrasound in Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation

Chest, 2021
A 65-year-old man was admitted to the ICU for septic shock due to pneumonia. He remained on mechanical ventilation for 96 hours. His shock resolved, and he no longer required IV vasopressor therapy. His vital signs included a BP of 105/70 mm Hg, heart rate 85 beats/min, respiratory rate 22 breaths/min, and oxygen saturation 95%. His ventilator settings

Assessment of Diaphragm Function by Ultrasounds

2020
This chapter focuses on thoracic ultrasound as a noninvasive technique for diaphragm morphological and functional assessment, that can be used as an alternative to traditional, more challenging and uncomfortable methods, such as the fluoroscopic sniff test, nerve conduction studies, and electromyography.
