Weaning the patient: between protocols and physiology

Mark E. Haaksma et al.

Summary: Ventilator weaning is an essential aspect of critical care medicine, with new physiological and clinical insights helping to shorten liberation from mechanical ventilation. Recent developments include frequent breathing trials, early noninvasive ventilation, novel ventilatory modes, and the use of ultrasound for monitoring physiological changes during weaning.

Ultrasound Assessment of Diaphragm Thickness and Thickening: Reference Values and Limits of Normality When in a Seated Position

Alain Boussuges et al.

Summary: The study measured the thickness and inspiratory thickening of diaphragms in healthy volunteers using ultrasonography. It found that women generally have thinner diaphragms compared to men. The established normal values for diaphragmatic function indexes may aid clinicians in detecting diaphragm atrophy and dysfunction.

Positive end-expiratory pressure affects geometry and function of the human diaphragm

Diana Jansen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of short-term application of PEEP on diaphragm geometry and function, finding that increasing PEEP led to diaphragm displacement, muscle shortening, increased thickness, and reduced neuromechanical efficiency. These findings suggest that the conditions for developing longitudinal atrophy in the human diaphragm are present with the application of PEEP.

Diaphragm echodensity in mechanically ventilated patients: a description of technique and outcomes

Benjamin Coiffard et al.

Summary: The study found that diaphragm echodensity increased in mechanically ventilated patients at the outset, and this increase in echodensity during the early course of mechanical ventilation was associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation. Moreover, both decreases and increases in diaphragm thickness were also associated with increased echodensity.

Evaluation of diaphragm thickening by diaphragm ultrasonography: a reproducibility and a repeatability study

Iacopo Cappellini et al.

Summary: The study found that diaphragm ultrasound is repeatable and reproducible when done by a radiologist or an intensivist with basic training in ultrasonography. The method is more accurate when using the M-mode for less experienced operators, with repeatability and reproducibility not sufficient for clinical decision-making in the case of the B-mode. No TF value lower than 36% was obtained using both techniques, suggesting the presence of a potential cut-off value for distinguishing healthy subjects from those with diaphragmatic dysfunction.
