Debate on the Role of Eccentric Contraction of the Diaphragm: Is It Always Harmful?

Abstract The diaphragm is the primary muscle involved in the ventilatory pump, making it a vital component in mechanical ventilation. Various factors in patients who require mechanical ventilation can lead to the deterioration of the diaphragm, which is associated with increased mortality. This deterioration can arise from either excessive or insufficient support due to improper […]

Advancements in imaging techniques for monitoring the respiratory muscles

Summary of “Advancements in Imaging Techniques for Monitoring the Respiratory Muscles” Abstract Respiratory muscle dysfunction is a significant issue in critically ill patients, affecting weaning from mechanical ventilation and overall outcomes. This review explores emerging imaging techniques for assessing respiratory muscles, including ultrasound-based methods such as speckle tracking, tissue Doppler imaging, and shear wave elastography.
