Inspiratory Muscle Training Before Esophagectomy Increases Diaphragmatic Excursion: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Annals of Surgical Oncology
Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has preventive effects against postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after upper abdominal surgery. However, its impact on diaphragmatic function has not been evaluated. This study investigated the effect of preoperative IMT on diaphragmatic excursion (DE) and prevention of PPCs for patients with esophageal ...

Diaphragmatic Excursion after Pleural Sclerosis

Chest, 1989
Chemical sclerosis of the pleural space is used to prevent recurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax. To test whether sclerosis restricts diaphragmatic excursion, we measured diaphragmatic excursion by ultrasonography in subjects with unilateral pleural sclerosis and compared it with diaphragmatic excursions in normal subjects, in subjects with cystic ...

Validation of a novel point-of-care ultrasound method to assess diaphragmatic excursion

Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine, 2023
Introduction Point-of-care ultrasound can assess diaphragmatic function and rule in or rule out paresis of the diaphragm. While this is a useful bedside tool, established methods have significant limitations. This study explores a new method to assess diaphragmatic motion by measuring the excursion of the uppermost ...

Relationship Between Specific Dynamic Pulmonary Compliance and Diaphragmatic Excursion

Radiology, 1969
The level to which the diaphragm descends on inspiration is dictated by the opposing forces of muscular inspiratory effort and elastic recoil of the lungs, best measured and expressed as its reciprocal; compliance. The level to which the diaphragm ascends on expiration is not dictated by muscular effort but by the elasticity of the chest wall and again

Effect of Pranayama on Diaphragmatic Excursion in Healthy Young Individuals

Indian Journal of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy - An International Journal, 2014
Introduction : Pranayama (yogic Breathing) helps in breath control. It is easy to perform exercise having positive influence on cardiopulmonary factors. Pranayama is a known practice for its positive benefits on the respiratory parameters and functional capacity. Diaphragm mobility is a known tool for predicting exercise tolerance.

Diaphragmatic excursion and respiratory function after the modified raj technique of the infraclavicular plexus block

Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2004
The effects of the infraclavicular plexus block using the modified Raj approach on diaphragm and respiratory function have not been investigated.After obtaining approval of the local ethics committee and written informed consent, 20 patients, scheduled for surgery of the forearm, wrist, or hand were prospectively included.

[Diaphragmatic excursion after inter-sternocleidomastoid block depending on the site of the injection].

Annales francaises d'anesthesie et de reanimation, 2000
To evaluate the incidence of the hemidiaphragmatic paresis after inter Sterno-Cleido-Mastoid (inter-SCM) block.Prospective, comparative, single blind study.16 patients ASA I-II.The diaphragmatic paresis was measured by a radiologist unaware of the technique used and operated side. It was determined by the diaphragmatic excursion (DE) on double-exposure

Diaphragmatic ultrasonography: reference values and reliability for thickness, thickening fraction, and excursion in neonates

European Journal of Pediatrics
To establish reference values and assess the intra- and inter-rater reliability of inspiratory diaphragmatic thickness (IDT), expiratory diaphragmatic thickness (EDT), diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF), and diaphragmatic excursion (DE) using ultrasound, including the lower (LLN) and upper (ULN) limits of normality in neonates.
