Diaphragmatic atrophy and dysfunction in critically ill mechanically ventilated children

RATIONALE: The extent of diaphragmatic atrophy and dysfunction in critically ill children from developing countries is not established.

OBJECTIVES: To estimate changes in ultrasound measurements of diaphragmatic thickness over the first week of mechanical ventilation. To assess magnitude and risk factors of diaphragmatic atrophy.

METHODS: In an observational cohort study, children aged 1-18 years, requiring mechanical ventilation were included. Ultrasound measurements of diaphragmatic thickness at end-expiration (DTe) and end-inspiration (DTi), and diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF) were performed daily during the first week of admission, and pre- and post-extubation. Diaphragmatic atrophy (%) and atrophy rate (rate of decline in DTe, % per day) were calculated.

MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Of 55 children (74.6% boys) enrolled, 20 (36.4%) died. Of 35 children with planned extubation, 5 (14.3%) required reintubation. Baseline median (interquartile range [IQR]) DTe, DTi, and DTF were 1.27 mm (1, 1.6), 1.76 mm (1.35, 2.10), and 33.75% (26.90, 44.60), respectively. There was a significant reduction in DTe over the first week of mechanical ventilation (p < .001), median (IQR) diaphragmatic atrophy and atrophy rate of 9.91% (5.26, 17.35) and 2.01% (1.08, 3.04) per day, respectively. Diaphragmatic atrophy rate was lower in pressure targeted ventilation (n = 44; 1.79% [1.03, 2.87]) than volume targeted ventilation (n = 11; 3.10% [1.31, 5.49]), p = .038. There was no difference in diaphragmatic parameters (atrophy rate, and peri-extubation DTe and DTF) in extubation success versus failure.

CONCLUSIONS: The diaphragm undergoes progressive atrophy during the first week of mechanical ventilation in critically ill children. Future studies should evaluate ventilation strategies to reduce the diaphragmatic atrophy.
