The impact of critical illness on the expiratory muscles and the diaphragm assessed by ultrasound in mechanical ventilated children

Annals of Intensive Care, 2020
Background Critical illness has detrimental effects on the diaphragm, but the impact of critical illness on other major muscles of the respiratory pump has been largely neglected.

The validity of surface EMG of extra-diaphragmatic muscles in assessing respiratory responses during mechanical ventilation: A systematic review

Pulmonology, 2020
Purpose Evidence supporting the utilization of surface EMG (sEMG) of extra-diaphragmatic muscles for monitoring of mechanical ventilation (MV) assistance is unclear.

Bedrest alters respiratory muscle strength in patients immobilized due to fractured femurs

South African Journal of Physiotherapy, 2000
Bedrest produces decrements in the functioning of all physiological systems. Physiotherapists treat patients who are managed with Thomas splints following fractured femurs. The patients are generally compartmentally treated as orthopaedic patients.

Severe damage of respiratory muscles in polymyositis [PDF]

Наука и инновации в медицине, 2019
Objectives to present a clinical case of polymyositis in a 55-year-old man. The patient was admitted with a diagnosis "transient ischemic attack", quickly followed by an acute respiratory failure, which required the continuous use of mechanical ...

Respiratory muscle senescence in ageing and chronic lung diseases

European Respiratory Review, 2020
Ageing is a progressive condition that usually leads to the loss of physiological properties. This process is also present in respiratory muscles, which are affected by both senescent changes occurring in the whole organism and those that are more ...

Basic principles of rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Медицинский совет, 2014
One of the most common systemic defects in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is skeletal and respiratory muscle dysfunction. Physical exercise in the therapy of such patients therefore plays an important role.

Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness Is Associated with Rapid Changes to Skeletal Muscle Proteostasis

Cells, 2022
Intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness is a frequent consequence of critical illness that impacts both the limb and respiratory muscles. The cause of ICU-acquired weakness is multifactorial, but both prolonged limb muscle inactivity and mechanical ...
