Assessment of Diaphragmatic Mobility in Dyspneic Patients With Different Types of Interstitial Lung Diseases

Egypt100 participantsStarted 2021-02-01

Plain-language summary

dyspnea and impaired exercise capacity in IPF patients can be related, at least in part, to respiratory muscle dysfunction, in particular to diaphragm functionality. Both B-mode and M-mode ultrasound techniques have been employed to assess diaphragm excursion, which measures the distance that the diaphragm is able to move during the respiratory cycle. recent study using lung ultrasound in assessment of diaphragmatic mobility in IPF patients and found that Diaphragmatic mobility is lower in IPF patients than in healthy controls, especially during deep inspiration. The correlation between reduced FVC and diaphragmatic excursion values in IPF patients can be of interest, since it could represent an index of functional respiratory affection performed by chest ultrasound
