Diaphragmatic parameters by ultrasonography for predicting weaning outcomes

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2018
Background Diaphragmatic dysfunction remains the main cause of weaning difficulty or failure. Ultrasonographic measurement of diaphragmatic function can be used to predict the outcomes of weaning from mechanical ventilation.

Dynamic Digital Radiography for Functional Assessment of Unilateral Main Bronchial Stenosis Before and After Treatment: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Dynamic digital radiography (DDR) was used to evaluate respiratory dynamics in a patient with unilateral main bronchial obstruction. PL‐mode imaging demonstrated marked ventilation asymmetry before bronchoscopic intervention. After treatment, DDR showed improved lung expansion and restoration of respiratory synchrony.

Ultrasound-assessed Diaphragmatic Function as a Predictor of Lung Function and Exercise Capacity in Stable COPD: A Case–Control Study [PDF]

Indian Journal of Respiratory Care
Spirometry and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) are commonly employed to assess patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but both methods are effort-dependent and may lead to oxygen desaturation during testing.

Ultrasound-guided diaphragm evaluation and outcomes in severe acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (uDISCO Study): an observational study

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease
Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with compromised diaphragmatic function. This can be evaluated using point-of-care ultrasound.

Cervical Plexus Anesthesia to Control Diaphragmatic Excursion during Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy

Annals of Saudi Medicine, 1995
In freely mobile kidneys, renal calculi are frequently driven across the shock beam by respiratory oscillations of the diaphragm. Diaphragmatic-related stone excursions are normally restricted to less than 1 cm, so that the stone remains within the confines of the shock wave beam at all phases of the respiratory cycle.
