Diaphragm Ultrasound: Physiology and Applications

Cardiopulmonary Monitoring, 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.

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

Neuromuscular ultrasound for evaluation of the diaphragm [PDF]

Muscle and Nerve, 2013
Neuromuscular clinicians are often asked to evaluate the diaphragm for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. Traditionally, this evaluation is accomplished through history, physical exam, fluoroscopic sniff test, nerve conduction studies, and electromyography (EMG).

Accuracy of lung and diaphragm ultrasound in predicting successful extubation in extremely preterm infants: A prospective observational study

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2022
Chest ultrasound has emerged as a promising tool in predicting extubation readiness in adults and children, yet its utility in preterm infants is lacking.

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

Evaluation of Respiratory Muscle Strength and Diaphragm Ultrasound: Normative Values, Theoretical Considerations, and Practical Recommendations

Respiration, 2020
Background: Reference values derived from existing diaphragm ultrasound protocols are inconsistent, and the association between sonographic measures of diaphragm function and volitional tests of respiratory muscle strength is still ambiguous.

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 evaluation of the paralyzed diaphragm.

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 1997
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, therefore it would be thin

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.
