Diaphragm Thickness and Contraction During Non-Invasive Ventilation: An Ultrasound Study
Diaphragm thickness increased, whereas DTF decreased over time on NIV in preterm infants with RDS. NIV duration was not associated with changes in diaphragm trophism. NIV discontinuation failure was associated with thicker diaphragm at the start of NIV, as well as with a reduction in diaphragm trophism over the NIV cycle.
