Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a multifactorial disease with many associated co-
morbidities, responsible for most cases of chronic lung disease in childhood. The use of …

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

Diaphragm ultrasound (DU) has been used in adult and pediatric critical patients in relation
to prediction of extubation success or to detect diaphragm dysfunction, but there is a lack of …

Objective To determine the sex‐specific diaphragm thickness in infants with
bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) as well as in healthy term and near‐term infants …

Background To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of sonographic assessment of
diaphragmatic dimensions and excursions in predicting Continuous Positive Airway …

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is one of the most common complications of premature
birth. The current definition of BPD is based on the duration of oxygen therapy and/or …

NIV-NAVA mode for respiratory support in preterm infants is not well-studied. This study
aimed to describe the diaphragmatic function, diaphragmatic excursion (DE), and thickness …

Diaphragmatic atrophy (DA) and lung injury (LI) have been associated with mechanical
ventilation (MV). We aimed to assess the ultrasonographic changes in diaphragmatic …

Purpose Concerns remain on different alveolar deposition of surfactant between LISA and
INSURE methods. Ultrasound evaluation of diaphragm kinetics may provide clinical …

The diaphragm is the main muscle involved in respiration, along with the abdominal,
intercostal, and accessory muscles. It is a tendomuscular structure that rises centrally in the …
