Purpose Esophageal pressure (Pes) is a minimally invasive advanced respiratory monitoring
method with the potential to guide management of ventilation support and enhance …

Diaphragm weakness is highly prevalent in critically ill patients. It may exist prior to ICU
admission and may precipitate the need for mechanical ventilation but it also frequently develops …

Mechanical ventilation may have adverse effects on both the lung and the diaphragm. Injury
to the lung is mediated by excessive mechanical stress and strain, whereas the diaphragm …

Background: This document provides evidence-based clinical practice guidelines on the use
of mechanical ventilation in adult patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). …

Rationale: Diaphragm dysfunction worsens outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients,
but the clinical impact of potentially preventable changes in diaphragm structure and function …

Rationale: Diaphragm atrophy and dysfunction have been reported in humans during
mechanical ventilation, but the prevalence, causes, and functional impact of changes in …

… Goligher had full access to all of the data in the study and takes responsibility for the integrity
of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis. Drs Tomlinson and Goligher … : Dr Goligher …

Purpose Ultrasound measurements of diaphragm thickness (T di ) and thickening (TF di )
may be useful to monitor diaphragm activity and detect diaphragm atrophy in mechanically …

Purpose High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a relatively recent respiratory support technique
which delivers high flow, heated and humidified controlled concentration of oxygen via the …

Mechanical ventilation can cause acute diaphragm atrophy and injury, and this is
associated with poor clinical outcomes. Although the importance and impact of lung-protective …
