Diaphragmatic Excursion of 7 cm on PSV indicating extreme patients' efforts

Diaphragmatic excursion refers to the measurement of diaphragmatic movement during the respiratory cycle using ultrasound. In critically ill patients, it is a bedside, non-invasive method to assess diaphragmatic function and to help predict weaning outcomes from mechanical ventilation.


Technique

  • Probe placement: A low-frequency (2–5 MHz) curvilinear or phased-array transducer is placed in the subcostal or intercostal region.

  • Window: The liver (right side) or spleen (left side) serves as an acoustic window.

  • Mode: M-mode is typically used to quantify movement. The ultrasound cursor is placed perpendicular to the diaphragm dome.
