Ultrasound imaging of diaphragmatic motion

Pediatric Radiology, 2022
The diaphragm is the key muscle of respiration, especially in infants. Diaphragmatic dysfunction and paralysis can have significant implications for medical management and treatment, and they can be challenging to diagnose by clinical parameters alone. Multiple imaging modalities are useful for assessing the diaphragm, but US - specifically M-mode US -

Pleuropulmonary and diaphragmatic ultrasound in intensive care medicine

Medicina Intensiva (English Edition), 2023
The usefulness of ultrasound for chest exploration was described in 1968. It was not until the 1990s, when its use became widespread in Intensive Care Units as a diagnostic, monitoring and procedural guide tool. The fact that it is a non-invasive tool, accessible at the bedside, with a sensitivity and specificity close to computerized tomography (CT ...

Fundamentals of Lung and Diaphragmatic Ultrasound

2023
Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a tool of indisputable usefulness for diagnosis and monitoring of various lung diseases. Basic principles of LUS and lung artifacts will be described in this chapter, in order to learn how to perform a scan of the thorax and how to recognize and differentiate a normal from a pathological lung.

Ultrasound evaluation of right diaphragmatic eventration and hernia

Pediatric Radiology, 2019
A hernia is due to a defect in the diaphragm. An eventration is due to a thinned diaphragm with no central muscle. Distinguishing right diaphragmatic hernia from eventration on chest radiographs can be challenging if no bowel loops are herniated above the diaphragm. Experience is limited with postnatal ultrasound (US) evaluation of diaphragmatic hernia

Ultrasound for diaphragmatic dysfunction in postoperative cardiac children

Cardiology in the Young, 2016
AbstractIntroductionThe use of ultrasound for assessing diaphragmatic dysfunction after paediatric cardiac surgery may be under-utilised. This study aimed to evaluate the role of bedside ultrasound performed by an intensivist to diagnose diaphragmatic dysfunction and the need for plication after paediatric cardiac surgery.MethodsWe carried out a ...

A narrative review of diaphragmatic ultrasound in pediatric critical care

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2021
AbstractThe use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) at the bedside has increased dramatically within emergency medicine and in critical care. Applications of POCUS have spread to include diaphragmatic assessments in both adults and children. Diaphragm POCUS can be used to assess for diaphragm dysfunction (DD) and atrophy or to guide ventilator ...

Lung ultrasound findings in congenital diaphragmatic hernia

European Journal of Pediatrics, 2019
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) occurs in approximately 1 in 2500 to 5000 infants. The use of lung ultrasound (LUS) for its diagnosis has been reported in only two case reports. The aim of this study was to report the LUS pattern of CDH in a case series of infants with respiratory distress.

Validation of Point-of-Care ultrasound in the diagnosis of a diaphragmatic hernia

Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación (English Edition), 2023
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a sensitive, specific tool for early diagnosis of diaphragm pathology in critically ill patients. We report the case of a patient with a history of iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia who was admitted to the Resuscitation Unit after an emergency exploratory laparotomy. As the diagnosis of diaphragmatic hernia had already

Diaphragmatic Ultrasound in Children With Asthma Exacerbations

Pediatric Emergency Care
Objectives Asthma is a leading cause of pediatric emergency department visits, yet few tools exist to objectively measure asthma severity. Diaphragmatic ultrasound (DUS) is a novel method of assessing respiratory distress; however, data are lacking for children.
