Ultrasonographic evaluation of diaphragm thickness and excursion: correlation with weaning success in trauma patients: prospective cohort study.
Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) subjects multiple trauma patients to ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. There is limited evidence on the predictive role of diaphragm ultrasound (DUS) for weaning success in multiple trauma patients. Therefore, we evaluated Ultrasound of the diaphragm as a valuable indicator of weaning outcomes, in trauma patients. ⋯ In the context of patients with multiple trauma, employing DUC and assessing diaphragmatic excursion, thickness, RR/DE index, RR/TF index, and RSBI can aid in determining successful ventilator weaning.

Observational StudyDiaphragmatic dysfunction is associated with postoperative pulmonary complications and phrenic nerve paresis in patients undergoing thoracic surgery.
We aimed to quantify perioperative changes in diaphragmatic function and phrenic nerve conduction in patients undergoing routine thoracic surgery. ⋯ NCT04507594.
