No association between thickening fraction of the diaphragm and extubation success in ventilated children [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
IntroductionIn mechanically ventilated adults, thickening fraction of diaphragm (dTF) measured by ultrasound is used to predict extubation success. Whether dTF can also predict extubation success in children is unclear.AimTo investigate the association ...

Ability of parasternal intercostal muscle thickening fraction to predict reintubation in surgical patients with sepsis [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiology
Objectives We aimed to evaluate the ability of the parasternal intercostal (PIC) thickening fraction during spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) to predict the need for reintubation within 48 h after extubation in surgical patients with sepsis. Methods This

The ratio of respiratory rate to diaphragm thickening fraction for predicting extubation success [PDF]

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
Background Several parameters are used to predict successful extubation but their accuracy varies among studies. We hypothesized that combining conventional and diaphragmatic parameters would be more effective than using just one.

Diaphragm thickening fraction predicts noninvasive ventilation outcome: a preliminary physiological study [PDF]

Critical Care, 2021
Background A correlation between unsuccessful noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and poor outcome has been suggested in de-novo Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) patients.

Effect of awake prone position on diaphragmatic thickening fraction in patients assisted by noninvasive ventilation for hypoxemic acute respiratory failure related to novel coronavirus disease [PDF]

Critical Care, 2021
Background Awake prone position is an emerging rescue therapy applied in patients undergoing noninvasive ventilation (NIV) for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (ARF) related to novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Diaphragm thickening fraction to predict weaning—a prospective exploratory study [PDF]

Journal of Intensive Care, 2017
Background Diaphragm ultrasound (DUS) is a well-established point of care modality for assessment of dimensional and functional aspects of the diaphragm. Amongst various measures, diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTf) is more comprehensive.

Thickening fraction as a measure of ultrasonographic diaphragm dysfunction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]

Clinical Neurophysiology Practice, 2020
Objective: Respiratory failure is the most common cause of death in ALS patients secondary to diaphragmatic dysfunction. Herein, we report three ALS patients, and we sought to determine the diaphragm dysfunction by the measurement of ultrasonographic ...
