Clinical Trial Summary

This study is designed to determine whether maximal diaphragm thickening fraction measured by ultrasound during volitional maximal inspiratory efforts is a valid measure of diaphragm function in mechanically ventilated patients.

Description:

Classically, assessing diaphragm function requires direct measurements of transdaphragmatic pressure generation. A critical requirement for valid measurements is a maximal volitional patient effort. An alternative is to standardize the stimulus to the diaphragm using magnetic twitch stimulation fo the phrenic nerve. This is the gold standard technique for diaphragm function measurement in the respiratory physiology laboratory.

Twitch measurements require technical expertise and expensive equipment; this technique is therefore basically limited to the laboratory. Bedside ultrasonography has been proposed as a method for measuring diaphragm function by assessing the thickening of the muscle during a maximal inspiratory effort. In order to achieve a maximal volitional effort in mechanically ventilated patients, several methods may be employed: coached maximal efforts, coached sniffing, and transient airway occlusion to stimulate respiratory drive (Marini maneuver).

The investigators are evaluating the validity of diaphragm functional assessment using bedside ultrasound in combination with coached efforts/sniffing/Marini maneuver against the gold standard technique: twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure.
