Diaphragm ultrasound in patients with prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation. [PDF]

Quant Imaging Med Surg
Background Several publications have examined diaphragmatic ultrasound using two-dimensional (2D) parameters in the context of weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) and extubation. However, the studied cohorts had rather short duration of ventilation.

Diaphragm Ultrasound is an Imaging Biomarker that Distinguishes Exacerbation Status from Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. [PDF]

Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis, 2022
Background Evaluating the diaphragm muscle in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is important. However, the role of diaphragm ultrasound (DUS) in distinguishing the exacerbation status of COPD (AECOPD) is not fully understood. We set this study

Diaphragm ultrasound as a better predictor of successful extubation from mechanical ventilation than rapid shallow breathing index. [PDF]

Acute Crit Care, 2022
Background In 3%–19% of patients, reintubation is needed 48–72 hours following extubation, which increases intensive care unit (ICU) morbidity, mortality, and expenses. Extubation failure is frequently caused by diaphragm dysfunction. Ultrasonography can

Diaphragm ultrasound evaluation during weaning from mechanical ventilation in COVID-19 patients: a pragmatic, cross-section, multicenter study. [PDF]

Respir Res, 2022
Background Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a major factor responsible for weaning failure in patients that underwent prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation for acute severe respiratory failure from COVID-19.

Diaphragm dysfunction prior to intubation in a patient with Covid-19 pneumonia; assessment by point of care ultrasound and potential implications for patient monitoring

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2020
The clinical research described in this case report was initiated because of the recognized need for early identification of Covid-19 patients at risk of respiratory failure.

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.

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 reliable M-mode ultrasound protocol for the assessment of diaphragm motion [PDF]

, 2014
Diaphragm is the principal inspiratory muscle. Different techniques have been used to assess diaphragm motion. Among them, M-mode ultrasound has gain particular interest since it is non-invasive and accessible.

Diaphragm ultrasound to stratify COVID-19 patients in the emergency department? [PDF]

J Clin Ultrasound, 2022
Dear Editor The COVID-19 affects particularly the respiratory system with the onset of pneumonia that can lead to acute respiratory insufficiency. Patients with COVID-19 pneumonia disclose a hypoxemic respiratory failure associated with an increase of ...

Respiratory Muscle Function Tests and Diaphragm Ultrasound Predict Nocturnal Hypoventilation in Slowly Progressive Myopathies. [PDF]

Front Neurol, 2021
Introduction: In slowly progressive myopathies, diaphragm weakness early manifests through sleep-related hypoventilation as reflected by nocturnal hypercapnia.
