- Ultrasound is used to assess diaphragmatic function non-invasively in patients undergoing thoracic surgery, focusing on diaphragmatic excursion (DE) and thickening fraction (DTF).
- A study with 50 patients found significant decreases in DE/DTF on the operated side immediately after surgery and three days post-op compared to pre-surgery and the non-operated side.
- Persistent diaphragmatic dysfunction on the operated side was linked to higher risks of lung infections, ICU admissions, and longer hospital stays.
