Transthoracic Ultrasonography Findings and Their Relation to Spirometric Indices in Patients With Obstructive and Restrictive Respiratory Diseases

April 10, 2023 updated by: Esraa Faragallah Abdelaal, Sohag University
Evaluation of respiratory function is considered a crucial component in the assessment of patients with a wide range of respiratory diseases. Spirometry is considered a common method of measuring pulmonary function. Recently, Transthoracic ultrasound yields important diagnostic information within minutes. Respiratory muscle ultrasound is used to evaluate the anatomy and function of the respiratory system.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
normal people
people who don't complain of respiratory diseases will be examined by chest ultrasound and pulmonary function test.
  1. lung ultrasonography
  2. Diaphragm and respiratory muscle ultrasound
  3. inferior vena cava ultrasound
pulmonary function test : FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC will be measured.
obstructive respiratory diseases
the patients who are diagnosed with either COPD or asthma.
  1. lung ultrasonography
  2. Diaphragm and respiratory muscle ultrasound
  3. inferior vena cava ultrasound
pulmonary function test : FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC will be measured.
restrictive respiratory diseases
patient with either ILD
  1. lung ultrasonography
  2. Diaphragm and respiratory muscle ultrasound
  3. inferior vena cava ultrasound
pulmonary function test : FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC will be measured.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
investigate the correlation between transthoracic ultrasonography findings and their relation to spirometric indices in patients with different respiratory diseases.
Time Frame: 6months
we will study the degree of change in lung ultrasound, diaphragm, and respiratory muscles ultrasound, inferior vena cava ultrasound in obstructive and restrictive respiratory diseases .also, we find their correlation with spirometric indices in these diseases.
6months
