Why the study?
Consensus-based statements on diaphragm ultrasonography methodology were needed to ensure high-quality and homogenous measurements in daily clinical practice and research.
Provides the first expert consensus statements to standardize diaphragm ultrasonography methodology in critical care settings.
Standardizes diaphragm ultrasonography for consistent critical care use; extends research by enabling homogeneous measurements across studies.
This expert consensus statement presents the first set of consensus-based statements on diaphragm ultrasonography methodology. They serve to ensure high-quality and homogenous measurements in daily clinical practice and in research. In addition, important gaps in current knowledge and thereby key areas for research are established.
