Diaphragm Ultrasound, Lung Ultrasound, Respiratory Diseases, Spirometry
Conditions
Brief summary
Evaluation of respiratory function is considered a crucial component in the assessment of patients with a wide range of respiratory diseases. Spirometry is considered a common method of measuring pulmonary function. Recently, Transthoracic ultrasound yields important diagnostic information within minutes. Respiratory muscle ultrasound is used to evaluate the anatomy and function of the respiratory system.
Interventions
RADIATIONtransthoracic ultrasonography
1. lung ultrasonography 2. Diaphragm and respiratory muscle ultrasound 3. inferior vena cava ultrasound
DEVICEspirometry
pulmonary function test : FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC will be measured.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| investigate the correlation between transthoracic ultrasonography findings and their relation to spirometric indices in patients with different respiratory diseases. | 6months | we will study the degree of change in lung ultrasound, diaphragm, and respiratory muscles ultrasound, inferior vena cava ultrasound in obstructive and restrictive respiratory diseases .also, we find their correlation with spirometric indices in these diseases. |
