Ultrasonography has been widely used in medicine for decades but often by specific users
such as cardiologists, obstetricians, and radiologists. In the last several years, the use of this …

OBJECTIVES: To map the evidence for ventilation liberation practices in pediatric respiratory
failure using the Realist And MEta-narrative Evidence Syntheses: Evolving Standards …

Introduction In mechanically ventilated adults, thickening fraction of diaphragm (dTF)
measured by ultrasound is used to predict extubation success. Whether dTF can also predict …

Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on 50 mechanically
ventilated, weaning-ready patients during the spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). The DE …

Diaphragmatic thickness (Tdi) and diaphragm thickening fraction (dTF) are widely used
parameters in ultrasound studies of the diaphragm in mechanically ventilated children, but …

Background Mechanical ventilation (MV) can cause diaphragmatic injury and ventilator
induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). Diaphragm ultrasonography (DU) is increasingly …

Diaphragm ultrasound (DUS) is a noninvasive method of evaluating the diaphragm's
structure and function. This study explored the relationships between DUS, spirometry, and …

Lung ultrasound (LUS) is increasing in its popularity for the diagnosis of pulmonary
complications in acute pediatric care settings. Despite the high incidence of pulmonary …
