Diaphragm ultrasound reliability study
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests how reliable ultrasound is for measuring the diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) in patients having elective surgery. It may help doctors better monitor breathing after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for elective surgery (not emergency)
- You are in generally good health (American Society of Anesthesiologists class I to III)
- You are not pregnant
- You have no history of diaphragm problems or surgery on your lungs, chest, or diaphragm

This trial uses ultrasound (a non-painful scanning method) to measure how well the diaphragm works around the time of surgery. It aims to learn whether diaphragm changes during surgery relate to breathing problems, especially in people undergoing abdominal, pelvic, or vascular operations.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how well the diaphragm moves in patients who are breathing with or without a breathing tube. It may help doctors better understand breathing function and guide treatment.
This trial uses ultrasound to measure how well your diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) thickens when you breathe in. The goal is to see if this measurement can help doctors decide the best time to remove the breathing tube safely.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well the diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) is working in people with septic shock. The goal is to predict who might need a breathing machine, so doctors can act faster and possibly improve outcomes.
This study looks at how the diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) works during an emergency for people 75 and older who come in with sudden shortness of breath. It uses a simple ultrasound to check this muscle, which may help doctors understand breathing problems better.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to look at how the diaphragm moves and works. It aims to see if this method can measure diaphragm strength in healthy adults, which might help doctors understand breathing issues better.
