Progress on monitoring technology and assessment indices of pediatric ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction / 中国小儿急救医学

Mechanical ventilation is becoming more and more common in clinical practice.It certainly helps patients to overcome the respiratory failure in children, but in the meantime, also lead to ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction(VIDD). VIDD is common in mechanical ventilation patients and are associated with prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, difficult weaning, pulmonary infection and the mortality.With the development of clinical medical technology, more and more convenient devices are applied to monitor diaphragm function.This review expounded the latest monitoring technology and assessment indices of VIDD, including pressure-generating capacity, imaging examination and diaphragm electrical activity.
