Background: In patients intubated for mechanical ventilation, prolonged diaphragm inactivity could lead to weakness and poor outcome. Time to resume a minimal diaphragm activity may be related to sedation practice and patient severity.

Methods: Prospective observational study in critically ill patients.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Michael Chaim Sklar"

  • - Michael Chaim Sklar's research primarily focuses on critical care practices, particularly concerning intubation and its effects on diaphragmatic function in critically ill patients.
  • - One of his notable studies published in 2021 explores the duration of diaphragmatic inactivity post-endotracheal intubation, suggesting that this inactivity can lead to patient weakness and adverse outcomes, influenced by sedation practices and patient severity.
  • - His earlier work from 2017 raises questions about the comparison of video versus direct laryngoscopy in the ICU, prompting a discussion on the effectiveness and appropriateness of these techniques in critical care settings.
