Effects of preoperative inspiratory muscle training in obese women undergoing open bariatric surgery: respiratory muscle strength, lung volumes, and diaphragmatic excursion

Clinics, 2011
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether preoperative inspiratory muscle training is able to attenuate the impact of surgical trauma on the respiratory muscle strength, in the lung volumes, and diaphragmatic excursion in obese women undergoing open bariatric ...

Respiratory Physiotherapy Techniques in Neonatal Intensive Care Units: A Scoping Review

Physiotherapy Research International, Volume 31, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Certain physiological characteristics increase the susceptibility of newborns, particularly preterm infants, to pulmonary collapse. In addition, newborns are prone to the accumulation of airway secretions, which, even in small volumes, can compromise respiratory function.

Ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragmatic function in patients with sepsis

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology
Background Frequently linked to diaphragmatic impairment, sepsis serves as a primary driver of weakness acquired within the intensive care unit (ICU), a condition that can negatively impact both respiratory capacity and overall patient prognosis.

Estimation of pulmonary function from time‐resolved dynamic chest radiography using machine learning in patients with respiratory disease

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Pulmonary function tests (PFTs), particularly spirometry, are the reference standard for assessing airflow limitation in respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial pulmonary disease.

Airway management and one‐lung ventilation strategies during hepatic histotripsy: a retrospective service evaluation from a single institution in Hong Kong

Anaesthesia Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, July‐December 2026.
Summary This retrospective single‐centre service evaluation describes double‐lumen tube one‐lung ventilation as a respiratory motion‐control strategy for hepatic histotripsy in 26 adults in Hong Kong. Histotripsy is a non‐invasive, non‐thermal focused ultrasound technique requiring precise targeting, challenged by respiratory‐induced liver motion. High‐

Inspiration Time: The Ultrasound Variable Necessary to Study the Diaphragm Functionality. A Cross-Sectional Controlled Study

SAGE Open Nursing
Introduction The diaphragm is considered the main inspiratory muscle, and as such, its assessment is crucial in patients with respiratory pathology. It is known that the contractile capacity of a muscle is determined by strength, length, and the duration

Effects of pneumoperitoneum on the amplitude of diaphragmatic excursion in pigs.

Jornal brasileiro de pneumologia : publicacao oficial da Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisilogia, 2007
To study the effects that pneumoperitoneum achieved through carbon dioxide insufflation has on diaphragmatic excursion in pigs.A total of 14 male Landrace pigs, 30 to 45 days of age and weighing five to seven kilograms each, were used. The sample was randomly and equally divided into two groups: one (n = 7) in which pneumoperitoneum was maintained at ...

Agreement of Diaphragmatic Excursion Between Anterior Subcostal and Posterior Subcostal Ultrasonography in Premature Neonates

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Diaphragmatic ultrasound (DUS) is a non‐invasive technique used to assess diaphragmatic function in neonates. However, the assessment of the diaphragm in the prone position is limited, as DUS traditionally uses the supine position.

Diaphragmatic assessment in COPD patients by different modalities

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2017
Background: The study of diaphragm is considered a key point in the evaluation of COPD patients. Ultrasonography can be used for assessment of the site, structure and the motion of the diaphragm, assessment of excursion and thickness and also diagnosis ...
