Inspiratory Muscle Training Prevents Diaphragmatic Atrophy in Mechanically Ventilated COVID-19 Patients [PDF]

International Journal of Medical Arts, 2021
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).

Evaluation of diaphragm in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using ultrasonography in relation to disease severity in Fayoum University Hospital

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2023
Background Diaphragmatic evaluation is crucial in the diagnosis of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Diaphragmatic ultrasound is a simple, noninvasive, and bedside method.

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]

J Anaesthesiol Clin Pharmacol
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:

Diaphragmatic Thickness Fraction in Subjects at High-Risk for COPD Exacerbations [PDF]

Respiratory Care, 2017
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound-based diaphragmatic thickness fraction is a reflection of the size and function of the diaphragm. This study aimed to examine the value of this measurement in identifying patients with COPD who are at high risk for the development of symptoms and exacerbations.

Ultrasound assessment of the relation between the quantity of pleural effusion and diaphragmatic functions

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2023
Background Diaphragm is a necessary respiratory muscle. In cases with pleural effusion, abnormal diaphragmatic functions may be observed. Thoracic ultrasound is a simple, accurate, and noninvasive method to investigate the relation between the quantity ...

Health status can predict diaphragmatic muscle thickness in COPD: pilot study [PDF]

Fisioterapia em Movimento, 2021
Abstract Introduction: Among the systemic implications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) there are changes in the diaphragm and impact on health status. However, there are few studies on the possible relationship between these variables, and whether health status could predict diaphragmatic muscle thickness (DMT).

Are diaphragmatic indices assessed by ultrasound good predictors of weaning outcome in mechanically ventilated respiratory patients?

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2020
Background Prediction of weaning outcome is still challenging. Among the reported causes of weaning failure is the diaphragmatic dysfunction. Diaphragmatic ultrasound indices were endorsed for predicting weaning outcome but with conflicting results ...

Effects of usual yoga practice on the diaphragmatic contractility: A cross-sectional controlled study

Heliyon, 2023
Objectives: The aim of this study is to observe and compare the effects of regular yoga practice on the main inspiratory muscle, the diaphragm, by analyzing its thickness, excursion, velocity and contraction time, using ultrasound.
