Comparative Ultrasonic Study of Post Operative Diaphragmatic Dysfunction in Abdominal and Head and Neck Surgery (Under the Dome)

August 7, 2013 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon
Diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD) is one of the main risk factors for post operative respiratory distress syndrome. Ultrasonography is a diagnosis tool for DD but few studies have been published. The aim of this prospective study is to compare the achievement of diaphragmatic function depending on the type of surgery (abdominal and head and neck surgery).
