Dynamic POCUS of Diaphragm Function to Predict Respiratory Failure in Septic Shock (POCUS in RF)

11 września 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Abdallah Gamal Abd El Hafeez Haridy, Assiut University

Dynamic Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Imaging Assessment of Diaphragmatic Function as a Predictor of Respiratory Failure and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Septic Shock.

This prospective observational cohort study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of serial bedside ultrasound assessment of diaphragmatic function in adult patients with septic shock. Diaphragmatic excursion, thickness, and thickening fraction will be assessed using point of care ultrasound at baseline and serially during the first 72 hours of intensive care admission. Dynamic changes in these parameters will be analyzed in relation to the development of respiratory failure, need for invasive mechanical ventilation, duration of mechanical ventilation, weaning and extubation outcomes, length of ICU stay, and mortality. The study will determine whether dynamic diaphragmatic ultrasound assessment can provide an early, non-invasive predictor of respiratory failure and adverse clinical outcomes in patients with septic shock.

Szczegółowy opis

Septic shock remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among critically ill patients. Respiratory failure is a frequent and serious complication, resulting from a combination of sepsis-induced lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory muscle dysfunction, and sepsis-induced myopathy. The diaphragm is the principal muscle of respiration and may be significantly affected during sepsis. Systemic inflammation, altered microcirculation, mitochondrial dysfunction, electrolyte abnormalities, prolonged immobilization, sedation, and mechanical ventilation can contribute to diaphragmatic dysfunction. Such dysfunction may impair spontaneous breathing, increase the risk of respiratory failure, prolong mechanical ventilation, and contribute to unsuccessful weaning and adverse clinical outcomes. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) provides a non-invasive, bedside, radiation-free method for assessing diaphragmatic structure and function. The most commonly used parameters include diaphragmatic excursion (DE), diaphragmatic thickness, and diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF). Most available studies have assessed diaphragmatic function at a single point in time, particularly during weaning from mechanical ventilation. However, limited evidence exists regarding the prognostic value of serial dynamic assessment of diaphragmatic function in patients with septic shock from the early stages of ICU admission.

Dynamic changes in diaphragmatic function may provide more clinically meaningful information than a single measurement. Therefore, serial POCUS assessment may help identify patients at high risk of respiratory failure and predict important clinical outcomes.
