The effect of cervical spondylosis on diaphragmatic thickness and excursion in nonsmoking adults

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research, 2021
Background Cervical spondylosis is defined as a series of signs and symptoms that result in anatomical and physiological changes in the vertebral column that may impair phrenic nerve function by compressing the C3/C5 that affect diaphragmatic movements ...

Computed tomographic diaphragmatic thickness: a promising method for the evaluation of diaphragmatic muscle in cardiopulmonary diseased cats. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci, 2023
Diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD) is defined as a weakening of the diaphragmatic muscle and can be an undetected cause of dyspnea. The objectives of this study were to explore the appropriate diaphragmatic location, measure diaphragmatic thickness (DT), evaluate the effect of intrinsic factors on DT, and compare DT between healthy and diseased cats, using

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 ...

Diaphragmatic thickness and excursion by lung ultrasound in pediatric chronic pulmonary diseases. [PDF]

J Ultrasound, 2022
Many patients with chronic pulmonary diseases, such as interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis, and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, suffer from dyspnea and exercise intolerance. Reduced lung compliance is the main cause of the patients' dyspnea, but weak respiratory muscles could be an additional factor.

Sonographic evaluation of diaphragmatic thickness and excursion as a predictor for successful extubation in mechanically ventilated preterm infants. [PDF]

Eur J Pediatr, 2021
Sonographic assessment of diaphragmatic thickness and excursion has been found to be an accurate tool in predicting successful extubation of adult patients from invasive mechanical ventilation. We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of sonographic assessment of diaphragmatic thickness and excursion in predicting successful extubation of preterm infants from

Diaphragmatic thickness in chronic obstructive lung disease and relationship with clinical severity parameters [PDF]

Turk J Med Sci, 2019
Sonographic assessment of diaphragm structure and function would be a useful clinical tool in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our aim was to determine the muscle thickness of the diaphragm and the usefulness of clinical practice in patients with COPD.The diaphragmatic thickness of 34 COPD patients and 34 healthy subjects was

Role of Bedside Ultrasonography in Assessment of Diaphragm Function as a Predictor of Success of Weaning in Mechanically Ventilated Patients [PDF]

Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases, 2020
Background Weaning failure is common in mechanically ventilated patients, and if ultrasound can predict weaning outcome remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diaphragmatic function (thickness and excursion) measured by ...
