Ultrafast ultrasound to assess diaphragm function

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the use of ultrafast ultrasound imaging to evaluate diaphragm function in patients with diaphragm dysfunction. It aims to establish relationships between ultrasound-derived indices and diaphragm electromyography (EMG) as well as transdiaphragmatic pressure measurements. The study will also explore the diagnostic capabilities of ultrafast ultrasound in identifying the causes of diaphragm dysfunction, such as contractility alterations or phrenic nerve conduction defects. By utilizing high frame rate imaging, the research seeks to provide a non-invasive method for assessing diaphragm health.
