Diaphragm dysfunction prior to intubation in a patient with Covid-19 pneumonia; assessment by point of care ultrasound and potential implications for patient monitoring	2020-11-10		.txt	text/plain	1661	97	43	title: Diaphragm dysfunction prior to intubation in a patient with Covid-19 pneumonia; assessment by point of care ultrasound and potential implications for patient monitoring Diaphragm dysfunction prior to intubation in a patient with Covid-19 pneumonia; assessment by point of care ultrasound and potential implications for patient monitoring. Recovery of diaphragm contractility was demonstrated within two days of controlled mechanical ventilation when the patient was switched to a pressure support mode. Recovery of diaphragm contractility was demonstrated within two days of controlled mechanical ventilation when the patient was switched to a pressure support mode. An ultrasound examination indicated bilateral diaphragm dysfunction prior to intubation and the start of lung protective mechanical ventilation (figures 2 and 3). The very large thickening fraction measured on day six could indicate an additional effort by the patient after a brief switch from pressure control to pressure support ventilation at low values for dynamic respiratory compliance.	./cache/cord-300032-511zwrnb.txt	./txt/cord-300032-511zwrnb.txt
