Diaphragm thickening fraction predicts noninvasive ventilation outcome: a preliminary physiological study

Abstract Background A correlation between unsuccessful noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and poor outcome has been suggested in de-novo Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) patients. Consequently, it is of paramount importance to identify accurate predictors of NIV outcome. The aim of our preliminary study i...
