Valoración ecográfica de la disfunción diafragmática en pacientes con SARS-COVID-19 como parámetro de intubación orotraqueal

Rev. chil. anest; 51 (3), 2022
OBJECTIVE: To correlate by ultrasound the diaphragmatic dysfunction in patients with SARS-COVID-19 with the patterns of pulmonary aeration and oxygenation status, as a parameter of orotracheal intubation. DESIGN: Prospective, observational cohort study, carried out between the months of July to September...

Mobility impact and methods of diaphragm monitoring in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review

Clinics; 75 (), 2020
The objectives of the study were to identify the factors that limit diaphragmatic mobility and evaluate the therapeutic results of the monitoring methods previously used in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and LILACS databases were used. A gray lite...

Diaphragm quantitative electromyography in difficult-to-treat asthmatic patients

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 77 (8), 2019
ABSTRACT Quantitative electromyography is an important tool to evaluate myopathies, and some difficult-to-treat asthmatic patients may have a subclinical corticosteroid myopathic process, using only inhaled corticosteroid, according to some studies. In this report, diaphragm quantitative electromyography...

Is phrenic nerve conduction affected in patients with difficult-to-treat asthma?

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to obtain data on phrenic neuroconduction and electromyography of the diaphragm muscle in difficult-to-treat asthmatic patients and compare the results to those obtained in controls. Methods The study consisted of 20 difficult-to-treat asthmatic patients com...

Comparison of diaphragmatic mobility between COPD patients with and without thoracic hyperkyphosis: a cross-sectional study

J. bras. pneumol; 44 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To compare diaphragmatic mobility, lung function, and respiratory muscle strength between COPD patients with and without thoracic hyperkyphosis; to determine the relationship of thoracic kyphosis angle with diaphragmatic mobility, lung function, and respiratory muscle strength in COP...

Evaluation of diaphragmatic mobility following intra-abdominal sub-diaphragmatic fixation of a double-layered mesh in rats

Acta cir. bras; 31 (4), 2016
PURPOSE: To evaluate the tissue integration of a double-sided mesh after fixation in diaphragm and to study the diaphragmatic mobility by ultrasound. METHODS: Twenty male Wistar rats were used. The animals were assigned into two equal groups according to the day of euthanasia. The animals were anestheti...

Análisis del signo de Hoover en relación con parametros funcionales, radiologicos y de radio de curvatura en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica
[Relationship between Hoover sign, functional and variables, and curvature radius in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease]

Medicina (B.Aires); 63 (5), 2003
The purpose of the present study was: 1) to relate the Hoover sign -SH (+)- with several functional (spirometry and lung volumes) and radiographic (AP x-ray) parameters, 2) to characterize the changes in diaphragmatic curvature radius and the efficiency and to establish some relationships with the functi...

Pseudo-aneurisma de ventrículo esquerdo por rotura cardíaca após infarto agudo do miocárdio: tratamento cirúrgico
Pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle due to postinfarction ventricular rupture: surgical treatment

O pseudo-aneurisma de ventrículo esquerdo após infarto agudo do miocárdio é entidade rara. Quando diagnosticado, deverá ser operado logo que possível, devido ao risco aumentado de rotura de sua parede. No período de novembro de 1992 a junho de 1995, foram encaminhados ao nosso Serviço 3 pacientes...
