Ultrasound peek inside ICU Patients' breathing muscles
NCT ID NCT04319939
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 66 ICU patients on breathing machines to see if ultrasound could measure diaphragm thickness differently depending on the machine's settings. Researchers compared two modes: one where the machine controls all breaths and one where the patient triggers some breaths. No treatments were tested; the goal was simply to gather information.
