Diaphragmatic thickness and excursion by lung ultrasound in pediatric chronic pulmonary diseases
Ishak, Sally; Sakr, Hossam M;
Abstract
Many patients with chronic pulmonary diseases, such as interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis, and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, suffer from dyspnea and exercise intolerance. Reduced lung compliance is the main cause of the patients' dyspnea, but weak respiratory muscles could be an additional factor. The diaphragm is considered the major respiratory muscle. Our study aimed to detect diaphragmatic thickness and excursion by ultrasound in pediatric patients with chronic pulmonary diseases to assess respiratory muscle weakness in these patients.
