Combined cardiac, lung, and diaphragm ultrasound for predicting weaning failure during spontaneous breathing trial [PDF]
Background Weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) is a complex and challenging process that involves multiple pathophysiological mechanisms. A combined ultrasound evaluation of the heart, lungs, and diaphragm during the weaning phase can help ...

Ultrasound Evaluation of the Diaphragm in Clinical Anesthesia [PDF]
When the human body is anesthetized, the human nerve tissue will be greatly affected, which also affects the breathing of the human body. The respiration during anesthesia is a lack of initiative, and the energy efficiency of the diaphragm in the lungs is very important to the safety of anesthesia.

Ultrasound Imaging of the Diaphragm [PDF]
The diaphragm is the major muscle of respiration and its dysfunction is associated with problems ranging from orthopnea to prolonged recovery from surgery or ventilator management. Common causes of diaphragm dysfunction include phrenic neuropathy, motor neuron disease, neuromuscular junction disorders, and myopathy.
