Reliability of diaphragm ultrasound to detect diaphragm dysfunction in critically ill patients

4.1 Clinical respiratory physiology, exercise and functional imaging, 2015
Background: Diaphragm dysfunction (DD) is a major concern in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The gold standard method to diagnose DD is the measure of intra-thoracic pressure in response to a bilateral stimulation of the phrenic nerve (Ptr,stim). This technique is costly, requires expertise and is not widely available.

Clinical applications of diaphragm ultrasound: moving forward.

Minerva medica, 2014
Establishing the correct time of weaning from mechanical ventilation is a crucial issue in the clinical practice. The difficult process of weaning can be due to pathological conditions that result in an imbalance between respiratory-muscle strength and respiratory load.

Lung, Pleura, and Diaphragm Point-of-Care Ultrasound

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI
Thoracic Ultrasonography involves the ultrasonographic examination of the lungs, pleura, and diaphragm. This provides a plethora of clinical information during the point of care assessment of patients. The air filled lungs create consistent artifacts and careful examination and understanding of these artefactual signs can provide useful information on ...

Micromachined diaphragm transducers for miniaturised ultrasound arrays

2012 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium, 2012
Miniaturised ultrasound transducer arrays with integrated electronics will in future enable significant advances in high resolution medical imaging and in acoustic tweezing for bioscience research. However, their development has been limited by challenges in scaling down conventional piezoelectric ultrasound transducer fabrication and interconnection ...

Relationship Between Diaphragm Function and Sarcopenia Assessed by Ultrasound: A Cross-Sectional Study

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: The diaphragm is important for respiration, but the effects of age-related muscle loss and sarcopenia on diaphragm function are unclear.

[Advances of Diaphragm Ultrasound in Anesthesia Management].

Zhongguo yi xue ke xue yuan xue bao. Acta Academiae Medicinae Sinicae, 2022
Diaphragm excursion,diaphragm thickness,and diaphragmatic thickening fraction are three indicators for evaluating the two hemidiaphragms by ultrasound.Diaphragm ultrasound has been widely applied in clinical practice including anesthesia management.It can help to diagnose postoperative residual curarisation and identify patients at a high risk of ...

Utility Of diaphragm ultrasound in myopathy.

Muscle & nerve, 2017
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 ...

Sarcopenic diaphragm: measurements with the ultrasound

2018
Aims and objectives: Sarcopenia is age related, involuntary, progressive loss of muscle mass and strength.[1]. Physical inactivity, smoking and poor diet, as well as age-related changes in hormones and cytokine levels are important risk factors for sarcopenia.
