Summary

Muscle weakness and dysfunction are common problems in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit. Respiratory muscle weakness during mechanical ventilation was recognized a state of muscular fatigue. The terminology 'ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction' (VIDD) originally was introduced to describe these effects of mechanical ventilation and respiratory muscle unloading on the diaphragm.

Ultrasonography is becoming increasingly popular management of ICU patients. It is a simple, non-invasive and safe imaging technique that can be used for the assessment of distinctive diaphragmatic characteristics.

Parameters such as amplitude and velocity of contraction, which can be assessed using M-mode ultrasound. In addition, static and dynamic (thickening fraction during inspiration) diaphragmatic thickness can also be measured by ultrasonography.
