Association between histological diaphragm atrophy and ultrasound diaphragm expiratory thickness in ventilated patients

Journal of Intensive Care, 2022
Background Diaphragm fiber atrophy has been evidenced after short periods of mechanical ventilation (MV) and related to critical illness-associated diaphragm weakness.

The Perception of the Diaphragm with Ultrasound: Always There Yet Overlooked?

Life
Diaphragm ultrasound makes it possible to diagnose diaphragmatic atrophy and dysfunction. Important indications include unclear dyspnea; diaphragmatic elevation; assessment of diaphragm dysfunction in pulmonary, neuromuscular and neurovascular diseases ...

A novel method for diaphragm-based electrode belt position of electrical impedance tomography by ultrasound [PDF]

Journal of Intensive Care, 2023
Background This aim of study was to introduce a diaphragm-based EIT-belt placement method based on diaphragm position by ultrasound, and to evaluate the difference between diaphragm-based EIT-belt placement and conventional EIT-belt placement. Method The

A narrative review of diaphragm ultrasound to predict weaning from mechanical ventilation: where are we and where are we heading?

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 ...

Combined cardiac, lung, and diaphragm ultrasound for predicting weaning failure during spontaneous breathing trial [PDF]

Annals of Intensive Care
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 ...

Ground movements during diaphragm wall installation in clays [PDF]

, 1993
PhDDiaphragm walls are being used increasingly in connection with building basements and road improvement schemes, particularly in urban areas. Many of these walls retain overconsolidated clay, and the magnitude of the lateral stresses which will act ...
