A properly functioning diaphragm is necessary for lung aeration \u0026amp; survival. It is also involved in non-respiratory functions. Structure \u0026amp; functional status of diaphragm has clinical importance, can be studied by imaging \u0026amp; non-imaging tests. Fluoroscopy is the conventional imaging method to evaluate diaphragmatic movements, however it requires transportation \u0026amp; exposes the patients to the risk of ionizing radiation. Also,there are considerable limitations of other imaging tests like CT \u0026amp; MRI in evaluation of diaphragm. Ultrasound is radiation free, relatively inexpensive, readily accessible in ICU. B mode ultrasound can be used for assessment of diaphragmatic thickness,change in thickness during breathing \u0026amp; echogenecity. M mode allows quantifiable assessment of diaphragmatic excursion.These can be utilized in diagnosis, prognostic follow up of diaphragmatic paralysis \u0026amp; for assessment in various clinical conditions that affect diaphragmatic dysfunction.Present study aimed to evaluate feasibility \u0026amp; utility of ultrasonography in evaluation of diaphragmatic motion and diaphragmatic thickness.","brand":"LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53763128099158,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/avinash-mural-ultrasonographic-evaluation-of-diaphragm-9786200678294","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
