Effects of COVID-19 Infection and Critical Illness on Diaphragm Tissue Characteristics and Movement, Visualized With MRI
Effects of COVID-19-infection and Mechanical Ventilation on Movement and Tissue Characteristics of the Diaphragm, Visualized by Magnetic Resonance Imaging: a Proof-of-concept Study
COVID-19-infection has a large impact on the respiratory system and possibly on the diaphragm, the main respiratory muscle. In ICU-patients, diaphragm weakness is associated with prolonged ICU-stay, difficult weaning and increased mortality. Our research group recently found evidence for fibrosis and expression of genes involved in fibrosis as well as viral infiltration of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in diaphragm biopsies from COVID-19 ICU patients. This finding suggests a unique manifestation of diaphragm injury in COVID-19 patients after mechanical ventilation. However, it remains unclear what the exact nature and location of diaphragm injury is.
Additionally, it is largely unknown whether this injury affects the movement of the diaphragm, but this might have important clinical implications. Therefore, we aim at visualizing the tissue characteristics and movement of the diaphragm in COVID-19 patients who recently received long-term mechanical ventilation, other ICU patients and healthy controls, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI of the diaphragm was already shown feasible in previous research from our group (article currently under review).
New insights in the characteristics of diaphragm weakness and injury in COVID-19 patients and control ICU-patients will contribute to strategies to prevent it and monitor the diaphragm of patients under mechanical ventilation, which can contribute to better patient outcomes.

In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject in the control group must meet all of the following criteria:
- Signed informed consent
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Similar age (max 5 years difference) and gender of one of the subjects in case group
Exclusion criteria
A potential subject for the case group who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
Known history of:
- Diaphragmatic injury or weakness prior to ICU stay
