Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome of this study is the rate of change in diaphragmatic function over the first five days of mechanical ventilation, assessed by diaphragmatic thickening fraction (TFdi), diaphragmatic excursion and tissue dopplerTimepoint: 1. At baseline ( time of initiation of mechanical ventilation) 2. At day 5 of mechanical ventilation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Secondary outcomes include the impact of ventilatory mode (volume-controlled versus pressure-controlled) on diaphragmatic function. Timepoint: 1. At baseline ( time of initiation of mechanical ventilation) 2. At day 5 of mechanical ventilation;2. The study will also co-relate the diaphragmatic function with changes in peripheral muscle thickness (rectus abdominis, rectus femoris) over Day 5Timepoint: 1. At baseline ( time of initiation of mechanical ventilation) 2. At day 5 of mechanical ventilation | — |
