Diaphragmatic Echography in COVID-19 Pneumonia (COVIDUSDIAP)

April 7, 2023 updated by: Javier Lázaro

Prognostic Value of Transthoracic Diaphragmatic Echography in COVID-19 Pneumonia Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure

We hypothesized that diaphragm thickness is concerned in acute respiratory failure of COVID19 patients and its ultrasound measure at the begining of hospitalisation is a good predictor of poor outcome.

A prospective observational non intervention study is designed.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

To answer our hypothesis we will perform diaphragm ultrasound in the first 24hr hospitalized COVID19 patients.

In the ultrasound exploration we will assess diaphragm movility and thickness. We will also assess other clinical, biochemistry and radiological variables. The main outcome we want to analyze is the destination on discharge: home, respiratory intermediate critical unit or exitus.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Early diaphragm ultrasound as a predictor factor for invasive and non invasive ventilation and death
Time Frame: From date of inclusion until discharge date (lenght of hospitalization)
This is the main outcome of our study given that it has a important clinical implications. If we confirm our hypothesis diaphragm ultrasound could prove to be a useful prognosis tool for COVID19 patients.
From date of inclusion until discharge date (lenght of hospitalization)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diaphragm thickness rate as a predictor factor for invasive and non invasive ventilation and death
Time Frame: From date of inclusion until discharge date (lenght of hospitalization)
Diaphragm strenght is directly related to thickness. The impact of COVID19 infection on this specific measure can predict patient evolution.
From date of inclusion until discharge date (lenght of hospitalization)
Diaphragm movility rate as a predictor factor for invasive and non invasive ventilation and death
Time Frame: From date of inclusion until discharge date (lenght of hospitalization)
Diaphragm fatigability is directly related to movility. The impact of COVID19 infection on this specific measure can predict patient evolution.
From date of inclusion until discharge date (lenght of hospitalization)
