J Crit Care 2024; 83:154847. [PMID: 38909540 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2024.154847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diaphragm dysfunction is associated with weaning outcomes in mechanical ventilation patients, in the case of diaphragm dysfunction, the accessory respiratory muscles would be recruited. The main purpose of this study is to explore the performance of parasternal intercostal muscle thickening fraction in relation to diaphragmatic thickening fraction ratio (TFic1/TFdi2) for predicting weaning outcomes, and compare its accuracy with D-RSBI in predicting weaning failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively enrolled consecutive patients from 7/2022-5/2023. We measured TFic, TFdi, and diaphragmatic excursion (DE3) by ultrasound and calculated the TFic/TFdi ratio and diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index (D-RSBI4). Receiver-operator characteristic (ROC5) curves evaluated the accuracy of the TFic/TFdi ratio and D-RSBI in predicting weaning failure. RESULTS 161 were included in the final analysis, 114 patients (70.8%) were successfully weaned from mechanical ventilation. The TFic/TFdi ratio (AUROC = 0.887 (95% CI: 0.821-0.953)) was superior to the D-RSBI (AUROC = 0.875 (95% CI: 0.807-0.944)) for predicting weaning failure. CONCLUSIONS The TFic/TFdi ratio predicted weaning failure with high accuracy and outperformed the D-RSBI.

Exploring ultrasonographic diaphragmatic function in perioperative anesthesia setting: A comprehensive narrative review. J Clin Anesth 2024; 97:111530. [PMID: 38986431 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2024.111530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
The ultrasound study of diaphragm function represents a valid method that has been extensively studied in recent decades in various fields, especially in intensive care, emergency, and pulmonology settings. Diaphragmatic function is pivotal in these contexts due to its crucial role in respiratory mechanics, ventilation support strategies, and overall patient respiratory outcomes. Dysfunction or weakness of the diaphragm can lead to respiratory failure, ventilatory insufficiency, and prolonged mechanical ventilation, making its assessment essential for patient management and prognosis in critical care and emergency medicine. While several studies have focused on diaphragmatic functionality in the context of intensive care, there has been limited attention within the field of anesthesia. The ultrasound aids in assessing diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD) by measuring muscle mass and contractility and their potential variations over time. Recent advancements in ultrasound imaging allow clinicians to evaluate diaphragm function and monitor it during mechanical ventilation more easily. In the context of anesthesia, early studies have shed light on the patho-physiological mechanisms of diaphragm function during general anesthesia. In contrast, more recent research has centered on evaluating diaphragmatic functionality at various phases of general anesthesia and by comparing diverse types of procedures or anatomical position during surgery. The objectives of this current review are to highlight the use of diaphragm ultrasound for the evaluation of diaphragmatic function during perioperative anesthesia and surgery. Specifically, we aim to examine the effects of anesthetic agents, surgical techniques, and anatomical positioning on diaphragmatic function. We explore how ultrasound aids in assessing DD by measuring muscle mass and contractility, as well as their potential variations over time. Additionally, we will discuss recent advancements in ultrasound imaging that allow clinicians to evaluate diaphragm function and monitor it during mechanical ventilation more easily.

Ultrasonographic evaluation of diaphragm thickness and excursion: correlation with weaning success in trauma patients: prospective cohort study. J Anesth 2024; 38:354-363. [PMID: 38507058 DOI: 10.1007/s00540-024-03321-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) subjects multiple trauma patients to ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. There is limited evidence on the predictive role of diaphragm ultrasound (DUS) for weaning success in multiple trauma patients. Therefore, we evaluated Ultrasound of the diaphragm as a valuable indicator of weaning outcomes, in trauma patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective cohort study included 50 trauma patients from September 2018 to February 2019. DUS was performed twice: upon ICU admission and the first weaning attempt. The diagnostic accuracy of indexes was evaluated by ROC curves. RESULTS The study included patients with a mean age of 35.4 ± 17.37, and 78% being male. The median injury severity score was 75 (42-75). The failure group exhibited significantly lower right diaphragmatic excursion (DE) compared to the success group (P = 0.006). In addition, the failure group experienced a significant decrease in both right and left DE from admission to the first attempt of weaning from MV (P < 0.001). Both groups showed a significant decrease in inspiratory and expiratory thickness on both sides during weaning from MV compared to the admission time (P < 0.001). The findings from the ROC analysis indicated that the Rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) (Sensitivity = 91.67, Specificity = 100), respiratory rate (RR)/DE (Right: Sensitivity = 87.5, Specificity = 92.31), and RR/TF (Thickening Fraction) (Right: Sensitivity = 83.33, Specificity = 80.77) demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity in predicting weaning outcome. CONCLUSION In the context of patients with multiple trauma, employing DUC and assessing diaphragmatic excursion, thickness, RR/DE index, RR/TF index, and RSBI can aid in determining successful ventilator weaning.

Abstract
Weaning patients from mechanical ventilation (MV) is a complex process that may result in either success or failure. The use of ultrasound at the bedside to assess organs may help to identify the underlying mechanisms that could lead to weaning failure and enable proactive measures to minimize extubation failure. Moreover, ultrasound could be used to accurately identify pulmonary diseases, which may be responsive to respiratory physiotherapy, as well as monitor the effectiveness of physiotherapists' interventions. This article provides a comprehensive review of the role of ultrasonography during the weaning process in critically ill patients.
