Core Tip

Core Tip: There are few relevant literature reports on the predictive value of diaphragm ultrasound (DUS) indexes for mechanical ventilation therapy, so we conducted a study in which the clinical data of patients with successful and failed noninvasive ventilation were compared, and the independent predictors of noninvasive ventilation outcomes in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) patients were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis. It was found that the DUS index DTF can better predict the outcome of non-invasive ventilation therapy in AECOPD patients.
