Inclusion Criteria: * ①Adult patients (≥18 years old) of both sexes; * In invasive group, intubation or tracheotomy was changed to 5L/min T-tube or tracheotomy mask oxygen inhalation; * Patients in non-invasive group were treated with mask oxygen 5L/min; * agree to participate in the trial and sign the informed consent; Exclusion Criteria: * ①The diaphragm ultrasound operation site was too large to obtain images. * Diaphragmatic ultrasound images could not be obtained in any section; * The ultrasound image quality of any section was poor; * the presence of phrenic nerve injury/paralysis ⑤ pregnant women; ⑥ Neuromuscular diseases such as ALS and myasthenia gravis affect the evaluation of spontaneous breathing ⑦ Patients deemed by the investigator to be ineligible.

What they're measuring

Consistency of diaphragmatic mobility measurements between the standard and modified positions on the left side.

Timeframe: Measurements were performed 5 minutes after all patients were switched to conventional oxygen therapy at 5 L/min for the first time, once breathing had stabilized.
