A Novel Thoracic Ultrasound Measurement After Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair Identifies Decreased Diaphragmatic Excursion Associated With Adverse Respiratory and Surgical Outcomes [PDF]
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021 Background and Aim: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare defect often associated with pulmonary hypoplasia and abnormal pulmonary vascular development. Even after successful hernia repair, pulmonary disease may persist into adulthood. Impaired

Influence of Body Position Changes on Diaphragmatic Excursion Assessed by Ultrasonography in a Healthy Population [PDF]
Journal of Functional Morphology and KinesiologyBackground: The diaphragm is the primary respiratory muscle, and its proper function is essential for efficient breathing. Respiratory muscle weakness is a common complication that can hinder the withdrawal of mechanical ventilation.

Diaphragmatic Excursion as a Novel Objective Measure of Serratus Anterior Plane Block Efficacy: A Case Series [PDF]
Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine, 2022 Introduction: Pain scales are often used in peripheral nerve block studies but are problematic due to their subjective nature. Ultrasound-measured diaphragmatic excursion is an easily learned technique that could provide a much-needed objective measure ...

The Feasibility of Ultrasonographic Diaphragmatic Excursion in Healthy Dogs: Effect of Positioning, Diaphragmatic Location, and Body Weight of Dogs. [PDF]
Front Vet Sci, 2021 Diaphragmatic excursion (DE) has been utilized for detecting respiratory related problems in humans. However, several factors should be considered such as the ultrasound technique and factors intrinsic to patients. Nevertheless, knowledge of the effect of these factors on DE in dogs is still lacking.

Ultrasound diaphragmatic excursion during non-invasive ventilation in ICU: a prospective observational study. [PDF]
Acta Biomed, 2021 Diaphragmatic dysfunction is seen in up to 60% of critically ill patients with respiratory failure, and it is associated with worse outcomes. The functionality of the diaphragm can be studied with simple and codified bedside ultrasound evaluation. Diaphragm excursion is one of the most studied parameters.

Changes in diaphragmatic excursion and lung compliance during gynaecologic surgery: open laparotomy versus laparoscopy—a prospective observational study [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 This study compared the effects of open versus laparoscopic radical hysterectomy on intraoperative diaphragmatic excursion and lung compliance. We enrolled 20 women per group; Group O’s members underwent open radical hysterectomy, while Group L’s members

Measuring diaphragmatic excursion using 4-dimensional ultrasound: a feasibility study. [PDF]
UltrasonographyFour-dimensional ultrasound (4DUS) could provide more accurate characterisation of diaphragm function than existing M-mode ultrasound approaches. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a novel method for tracking diaphragm excursion from 4DUS data. 4DUS was acquired from 12 participants who exhibited a range of breathing

Diaphragmatic excursion correlates with exercise capacity and dynamic hyperinflation in COPD patients. [PDF]
ERJ Open Res, 2020 BackgroundAlthough the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the development of dyspnoea and poor exercise tolerance in patients with COPD are complex, dynamic lung hyperinflation (DLH) plays a central role. Diaphragmatic excursions can be measured by ultrasonography (US) with high intra- and interobserver reliability.

Diaphragmatic excursion and pulmonary function in children with cerebral palsy – comparative study
Physiotherapy Quarterly, 2023 Introduction Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common paediatric disorder occurring in about 2 to 2.5 per1000 live births. Studies have reported that children with cerebral palsy have a high incidence of respiratory problems, with limited evidence regarding ...

Changes of diaphragmatic excursion and lung compliance during major laparoscopic pelvic surgery: A prospective observational study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Major laparoscopic pelvic surgery requires steep Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum for a long time. We investigated the effect of Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum on diaphragmatic excursion and lung compliance during major ...
