2 days ago · Background Mechanical ventilation (MV) can cause diaphragmatic injury and ventilator induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). Diaphragm ultrasonography (DU) is increasingly used to assess diaphragmatic anatomy, function and pathology of patients receiving MV in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). We report the poor contractile ability of diaphragm during ventilation of critically ill patients in our PICU and the association to prolonged length of MV and PICU stay. Methods Patients who ...
