简要总结
Background of the study:
Increased work of breathing, potentially leading to respiratory insufficiency, resulting in the need of (non-) invasive respiratory support is the most common observed problem in the neonatal - and pediatric intensive care unit (NICU/PICU). The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle. Currently there is not an established technique accessible to observe the (clinical) function of the diaphragm and its role in respiratory insufficiency. New non-invasive modalities are promising, such as transcutaneous diaphragm electromyography (dEMG) and diaphragm ultrasound (dUS).
Objective of the study:
Our objective is to assess the association between transcutaneous diaphragm electromyography (dEMG) and diaphragm ultrasound (dUS) in the PICU population.
Study design:
Single center pilot study
Study population:
The study population consists of children between 0-12 months, admitted to the PICU of the Leiden University Medical Center, with invasive respiratory support.
Primary study parameters/outcome of the study:
Primary endpoint is to evaluate the association between dEMG and dUS measurements in the PICU population.
详细描述
All clinically stable infants or pediatric patients up to 12 months of age admitted to the PICU with invasive respiratory support comply with the extubation readiness test (ERT) criteria are included after informed consent. After inclusion simultaneous monitoring of the diaphragm muscle function using transcutaneous diaphragm electromyography (dEMG) and diaphragm ultrasound (dUS) will take place while the patient is on spontaneous breathing mode during ERT.
Transcutaneous diaphragm electromyography measurements are performed using three skin electrodes; two electrodes are bilaterally placed at the costo-abdominal margin in the nipple line and one at or above the sternum during a time period of 15 minutes, with a maximum of 30 minutes.
Ultrasound examination is performed using a linear transducer, and micro-convex transducer by trained operators.
The views are achieved with the patient in supine position. Diaphragm excursion (DE), diaphragm thickness (DT) and diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) are measured, performed at three different breathing cycles within one examination event.
After completion of the measurements analysis will be performed to evaluate the association between dEMG and dUS outcomes in this specific PICU population.

入选标准
- •Age between 0 - 12 months of age at the moment of inclusion and born ≥ 37 weeks gestational age.
- •Specific patients cohort PICU:
- •pediatric patients with invasive respiratory support comply with the extubation readiness test (ERT) criteria
- •No spontaneous breathing for the duration of the assessment
- •Written parenteral informed consent (IC)
- •A patient can only participate once
排除标准
- •Unilateral diaphragm paresis diagnosed by ultrasound
- •Congenital malformations not compatible with dEMG
- •Need of cardiac pacing
- •Congenital muscle atrophy disorder
- •Clinical instability requiring frequent interventions by the nursing staff that may interfere with the measurements
- •The attending physician considers the patient to be too vulnerable to participate in the study
结局指标
主要结局
Association between dEMG amplitude and dUS diaphragm thickening fraction and dEMG tonic activity and diaphragm thickness
时间窗: 1 year
Evaluation of the association between dEMG and dUS measurements in the PICU population with invasive respiratory support. Pearson's correlation coefficient is used to quantify the correlation between dEMG and dUS variables.
次要结局
- Assessment of patient specific values of dEMG and dUS(1 year)
