Diaphragmatic thickening fraction as a predictor for intubation in patients with COVID-19 [PDF]
Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2022 The diaphragm is the primary respiratory muscle, and its dysfunction predisposes patients to respiratory failure. Diaphragm function can be assessed by ultrasound measurement - Diaphragmatic Thickening Fraction (DTF).

Use of diaphragm thickening fraction combined with rapid shallow breathing index for predicting success of weaning from mechanical ventilator in medical patients. [PDF]
J Intensive Care, 2018 BackgroundWeaning failure is a crucial hindrance in critically ill patients. Rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), a well-known weaning index, has some limitations in predicting weaning outcomes.
