Evaluation of abdominal expiratory muscle thickness pattern, diaphragmatic excursion, diaphragmatic thickness fraction and lung ultrasound score in critically ill patients and their association with weaning patterns: A prospective study. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction: Weaning of patient from ventilator and finally extubation is a challenge, especially in critical care setup. Though many parameters are available, based on which, the decision of extubation is taken but still many times, there is failure of weaning. Aim:

The Relationship Between Poor Glycemic Control and Diaphragmatic Thickness in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with multiple systemic complications, yet its effects on respiratory muscle structure remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to evaluate diaphragmatic morphology in patients with type 2 DM

Association of Diaphragmatic Crus Thickness Assessed by Computed Tomography with Diaphragmatic Excursion and Exercise Capacity in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Diaphragmatic dysfunction contributes to exercise intolerance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although diaphragmatic excursion during deep breathing (DE max ) is associated with exercise ...

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

Inspiratory Muscle Training Prevents Diaphragmatic Atrophy in Mechanically Ventilated COVID-19 Patients [PDF]
Background: Unloading the diaphragm by mechanical ventilation results in diaphragmatic dysfunction and atrophy, a condition recognized in critical care settings as ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD).
