Diaphragmatic excursion by ultrasound: reference values for the normal population; a cross-sectional study in Egypt. [PDF]

Multidiscip Respir Med, 2022
Background: Measurement of diaphragmatic motion by ultrasound is being utilized in different aspects of clinical practice. Defining reference values of the diaphragmatic excursion is important to identify those with diaphragmatic motion abnormalities.

The effect of cervical spondylosis on diaphragmatic thickness and excursion in nonsmoking adults

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research, 2021
Background Cervical spondylosis is defined as a series of signs and symptoms that result in anatomical and physiological changes in the vertebral column that may impair phrenic nerve function by compressing the C3/C5 that affect diaphragmatic movements ...

Improvement of diaphragmatic excursion in the supine position in a patient with idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis: A case report. [PDF]

Respir Med Case Rep
Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (iPPFE) is a rare form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. We report a case of a patient with iPPFE in whom postural changes improved diaphragmatic excursion (DE) and exercise tolerance. Chest radiography showed a greater elevation of the diaphragm at maximum expiration in the supine position than the ...

[Diaphragmatic excursion time index as a predictor of extubation in intensive therapy]. [PDF]

Rev Med Inst Mex Seguro Soc
Extubation is a critical process in the ICU. Pulmonary USG has different applications, those that predict success in extubation, such as the diaphragmatic excursion time index (DEIT).To determine the diaphragmatic excursion time index is a predictor of the success of weaning off mechanical ventilation in patients in the intensive care unit.Diagnostic ...

Comparing Ultrasound-based Diaphragmatic Excursion with Rapid Shallow Breathing Index as a Weaning Predictor. [PDF]

Cureus, 2018
Background A challenging task in the intensive care unit is weaning intubated patients from mechanical ventilation. The most commonly used weaning parameter, the rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), gives thorough guidance on extubation timing with spontaneous breathing trials. Diaphragm plays vital role in tidal volume generation.

Relationship Between Chest Wall Motion and Diaphragmatic Excursion in Healthy Adults in Supine Position

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2009
There has been a lack of studies that have used both three-dimensional analysis and imaging tools concurrently to describe lung volume changes and breathing pattern in subjects in the supine position. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between volume changes estimated by optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP) and diaphragmatic ...

Role of Bedside Ultrasonography in Assessment of Diaphragm Function as a Predictor of Success of Weaning in Mechanically Ventilated Patients [PDF]

Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases, 2020
Background Weaning failure is common in mechanically ventilated patients, and if ultrasound can predict weaning outcome remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diaphragmatic function (thickness and excursion) measured by ...

Diaphragmatic motion recorded by M-mode ultrasonography: limits of normality

ERJ Open Research, 2021
Chest ultrasonography has proven to be useful in the diagnosis of diaphragm dysfunction. The aim of the present study was to determine the normal values of the motion of both hemidiaphragms recorded by M-mode ultrasonography.
