Assessment of Diaphragmatic Mobility by Transthoracic Ultrasound in Patients with Interstitial Lung Diseases [PDF]
Background: Interstitial lung diseases may promote respiratory muscles dysfunction due to increased lung elastic recoil, chronic hypoxemia, systemic inflammation, physical inactivity, malnutrition and corticosteroids therapy.

Clinical values of diaphragmatic movement in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Background The limitation of activity due to dyspnea in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients is affected by diaphragmatic dysfunction and reduced lung function.

INTRODUCTION A frequent cause of weaning and extubation failure in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients is diaphragm muscle dysfunction. Ultrasound (US) evaluation of the diaphragm yields important data regarding its thickness (diaphragm ...

Introduction: Ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD) leads to difficulties in weaning. Diaphragmatic excursion assessment by ultrasonography is a feasible bedside assessment of the diaphragm in the ICU. Our primary aim was to identify the presence of VIDD using US in patients undergoing Spontaneous breathing trials (SBT). Our secondary aim

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders that can disturb patients’ respiratory indices. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as omeprazole are currently the most common treatment in the patients.

Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients
Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.

Fluoroscopic evaluation of diaphragmatic excursion during spontaneous breathing in healthy Beagles
Abstract OBJECTIVE To evaluate dynamic movement of the diaphragm of clinically normal dogs by use of fluoroscopy and to obtain quantitative data of diaphragmatic excursion during spontaneous breathing. ANIMALS 8 healthy male Beagles with no history of respiratory tract disease.

Abstract Background Intraoperative haemorrhage during equine anaesthesia is a rare but potentially fatal complication requiring prompt haemodynamic support. Postural manoeuvres such as Trendelenburg (TL) positioning and vasopressor support augment venous return and improve cardiac output (CO), yet their efficacy in anaesthetised hypovolemic horses ...
