Transthoracic ultrasonographic evaluation of diaphragmatic excursion in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2018
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a multisystem disorder that mainly besides the lungs also affects the muscle mass. The force generated by the respiratory muscles decreases, resulting in a negative effect on ventilation and ...

Impact of pressure-targeted modes of ventilation on diaphragmatic function as assessed using ultrasonography in critically ill patients with cerebral insult: a randomized clinical trial

Ain Shams Journal of Anesthesiology, 2023
Background Mechanical ventilation causes diaphragmatic atrophy and reduces diaphragmatic efficiency. Patients with diaphragmatic dysfunction have longer mechanical ventilation durations and intensive care unit stay.

Assessment of Diaphragmatic Mobility by Transthoracic Ultrasound in Patients with Interstitial Lung Diseases [PDF]

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal, 2023
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.

Diaphragmatic Dynamics and Thickness Parameters Assessed by Ultrasonography Predict Extubation Success in Critically Ill Patients

Clinical Medicine Insights: Circulatory, Respiratory and Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
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 ...

The Effects of Diaphragmatic Breathing and Omeprazole on Respiratory Indices and Diaphragmatic Excursion in Patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Iranian Red Crescent Medical Journal, 2020
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.

Evaluation of Ventilator-induced Diaphragmatic Dysfunction by Diaphragmatic Excursion During Spontaneous Breathing Trials

Journal of Anesthesia & Clinical Research, 2018
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

Trendelenburg positioning with or without norepinephrine infusion for haemodynamic support in anaesthetised hypovolemic horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
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 ...

Visual Patterns of Diaphragmatic Motion in Acute Respiratory Failure: A Prospective Pilot Study

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 421-428, March/April 2025.
In this prospective bicentric study, we studied the relationship between the appearance of diaphragmatic motion and the etiological diagnosis of patients admitted to the emergency department with ARF. We observed a different visual pattern in patients with pneumonia. This is an interesting result as it allows the diagnosis of pneumonia without the need

Ultrasound assessment of diaphragmatic excursion in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with different severities

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with dysfunctional diaphragmatic breathing we assess the diaphragmatic excursion at different stages of COPD patients by transthoracic ultrasound.
