Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients who are admitted to intensive care units and require Invasive mechanical ventilation for greater than 72 hours

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Patient ventilated for less than 72 hours. 2.Consent refusal by patient or next of kin. 3.Pre-existing neuromuscular disorders affecting respiratory muscles. 4.Known diaphragmatic paralysis or prior diaphragmatic surgery/trauma 5.Patients in whom acquisition of reliable diaphragmatic ultrasound images is difficult. 6.Pneumothorax or active large pleural effusion or pregnancy preventing diaphragm assessment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime 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

MeasureTime 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
