Clinical trials: Diaphragms
Cirrhosis of the Liver, Ascites
Ultrasound Assessment of Diaphragmatic Structure and Function in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis: A Point-of-Care Tool for Predicting Complications and Sarcopenia in Limited Resource Settings
The goal of this observational study is to learn how liver cirrhosis affects the diaphragm, the main muscle used for breathing, in adults.

Diaphragm Injury, Muscle Weakness
Electromyography for Diaphragm Effort
Mechanical ventilation may be necessary to save the life of a patient due to an accident, pneumonia or surgery. The ventilator then temporarily takes over the function of the respiratory muscles.
- Conditions
- Diaphragm Injury, Muscle Weakness, Weaning Failure, Physiological Stress
- Trial name
- Edi2Pdi (NCT03580720)
- Testing
- Inspiratory threshold loading protocol
- Where
- Netherlands
- Volunteers
