Shrinking Lung Syndrome in Adolescent Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Diagnostic Utility of Diaphragmatic Ultrasound. [PDF]
Respirol Case RepA 17‐year‐old girl with SLE presented with progressive dyspnoea and a restrictive defect (FVC 39% predicted), yet her lung parenchyma looked essentially normal on HRCT. Diaphragmatic ultrasound revealed reduced excursion and a low thickening fraction, pointing to diaphragmatic dysfunction and confirming shrinking lung syndrome.

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.
