Summary

This study aims to evaluate the use of POCUS to assess diaphragmatic function and its association with clinical outcomes in patients with respiratory failure who are admitted to the emergency department.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Diaphragm shortening fraction measurement by point-of-care ultrasound.

A noninvasive and feasible method to assess diaphragmatic function and predict the prognosis of patients with respiratory failure presenting to the emergency department. The method consists of measuring the diaphragmatic thickness at the end of inspiration and expiration using a linear probe placed in the subcostal region and calculating the percentage of change using the formula: diaphragmatic thickness at the end of inspiration - diaphragmatic thickness at the end of expiration/diaphragmatic thickness at the end of expiration×100. A value lower than 10% indicates diaphragmatic dysfunction and a higher risk of adverse outcomes.
