Overview
Brief Summary
Respiratory muscle testing allows a quantitative assessment of inspiratory and expiratory muscles in children of any age with primary or secondary respiratory muscle impairment, in order to better understand the pathophysiology of respiratory impairment and guide therapeutic management. The use of an invasive technique (esogastric probe) makes it possible to specifically explore the diaphragm, the accessory inspiratory muscles and the expiratory muscles in order to detect dysfunction or paralysis of these muscles, and to estimate the work of breathing in order to better guide the respiratory management.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the respiratory effort in children with primary or secondary impairment of the respiratory muscles during spontaneous breathing or during mechanical ventilation.
Detailed Description
Respiratory muscle testing allows a quantitative assessment of inspiratory and expiratory muscles in children of any age with primary or secondary respiratory muscle impairment, in order to better understand the pathophysiology of respiratory impairment and guide therapeutic management. The use of an invasive technique (esogastric probe) makes it possible to specifically explore the diaphragm, the accessory inspiratory muscles and the expiratory muscles in order to detect dysfunction or paralysis of these muscles, and to estimate the work of breathing in order to better guide the respiratory management. Respiratory muscle testing by means of esogastric measurements may allow assessing the effect of pharmacological treatment by comparing respiratory muscle strength before and after a few months with treatment. Moreover, esogastric measurements can be used to better adapt mechanical ventilation or to determine the possibility of weaning from the respiratory support. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the respiratory effort in children with primary or secondary impairment of the respiratory muscles during spontaneous breathing or during mechanical ventilation.

Arms & Interventions
Respiratory muscle impairment
Minor patients with primary or secondary impairment of respiratory muscles and followed at Necker Hospital
Intervention: Esogastric pressure measurement
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Esophageal pressure-time product (PTPoes)
Time Frame: Day 0
The integral of the esophageal pressure signal over inspiratory time
Diaphragmatic pressure-time product (PTPdi)
Time Frame: Day 0
The integral of the transdiaphragmatic pressure signal over inspiratory time
Work of breathing (WOB)
Time Frame: Day 0
Total work of breathing (WOBt) is calculated (in Joules/L) as the area under the pressure-volume curve, using the Campbell diagram. Elastic (WOBe) and resistive (WOBr) are estimated as the 2/3 and 1/3 of WOBt value, respectively.
Secondary Outcomes
