Early changes in diaphragmatic function evaluated using ultrasound in cardiac surgery patients: a cohort study. [PDF]

, 2020
Little is known about the evolution of diaphragmatic function in the early post-cardiac surgery period. The main purpose of this work is to describe its evolution using ultrasound measurements of muscular excursion and thickening fraction (TF).
