diaphragmatic ultrasound

Details and patient eligibility

About

• Assessment of diaphragmatic function (excursion, thickness variation, thickness ratio) in COPD and bronchial asthma patients.
• Assessment of presence of correlation between diaphragmatic dysfunction and pulmonary function.
• Assessment of possible association between diaphragmatic dysfunction and presence of reversibility in pulmonary function post bronchodilator.
