Identifying decreased diaphragmatic mobility and diaphragm thickening in interstitial lung disease: the utility of ultrasound imaging

Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2016
Objective: To investigate the applicability of ultrasound imaging of the diaphragm in interstitial lung disease (ILD). Methods: Using ultrasound, we compared ILD patients and healthy volunteers (controls) in terms of diaphragmatic mobility during ...

Use of Ultrasound to Check Diaphragmatic Thickness to Assist in Weaning

TEXILA INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ACADEMIC RESEARCH, 2023
Dysfunction of the respiratory muscles is now considered to be a serious complication of critical health issues. Diaphragm dysfunction has been associated to higher mortality and complications weaning with mechanical ventilation in patients getting invasive mechanical ventilation treating acute respiratory failure.

Evaluation of diaphragmatic function in mechanically ventilated children: An ultrasound study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The recovery of diaphragmatic function is vital for successful extubation from mechanical ventilation. Recent studies have detected diaphragm atrophy in ventilated adults by using ultrasound, but no similar report has been conducted in children.

Evaluation of Diaphragmatic Thickness and Dysfunction by Ultrasonography in Mechanically Ventilated Children for Assessment of Extubation Success

Indian Pediatrics, 2023
This study aimed to evaluate diaphragm thickness (DT) and diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF) in mechanically ventilated children, and study the association of these measurements with extubation success.Consecutive children aged one month to 18 years, who required mechanical ventilation (MV) for more than 24 hours at our institution, were enrolled ...

Impact of cumulative steroid therapy dose on ultrasonography-assessed diaphragmatic functions in critically ill mechanically ventilated pediatric patients: a prospective observational study

Alexandria Journal of Medicine
Background Corticosteroids are widely used in critical care settings for different indications. Their use is associated with steroid-induced myopathy that can affect the diaphragm.

Assessment of diaphragmatic thickness as a predictor for intubation in pneumonia patients

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease
Pneumonia, one of the major contributors to morbidity and mortality globally, often leads to serious complications such as respiratory failure. Diaphragmatic dysfunction, detected through ultrasound, may predict the need for intubation in patients with pneumonia.

Neurovascular Contacts in the Pathophysiology of Neuralgic Amyotrophy: An Observational Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a prevalent, monophasic, multifocal immune‐mediated neuropathy. A distinctive characteristic of the disease is the occurrence of nerve or fascicle constrictions and torsions (NA‐associated focal nerve lesions, NAFL). The pathophysiology underlying this phenomenon remains to be fully elucidated.
