Brief Summary  

Mechanical ventilation is a life saving intervention which aims at exchange of gases totally or partially compensating for the lung. However it is associated with Diaphragmatic muscle injury (myotrauma) leading to diaphragmatic dysfunction.

The incidence of ventilator associated diaphragmatic dysfunction helps in identifying the percentage of intubated children prone to develop diaphragmatic dysfunction. There is  no single specific cause for ventilator associated diaphragmatic dysfunction, multiple factors and multiple pathophysiology are proposed for its cause. The ventilator induced diaphragmatic dysfunction(VIDD) plays an important role in modifying the outcome of the patient in the extubation trials and the course of stay in intensive care unit. The ultrasound guided assessment of diaphragmatic function is a useful bedside point of care tool , that can be used to identify  patients with ventilator associated diaphragmatic dysfunction, and has shown good accuracy and reproducibility. It gives an additional advantage of non invasive assessment of diaphragmatic function.

Through this study we shall prospectively assess diaphragmatic dysfunction serially in intubated children. Concomitantly we shall assess parameters which may lead to causation of VIDD as muscle wasting (through quadriceps femoris muscle thickness), presence of shock (mean VIP), ischemia (mean OI/OSI), nutrition and ventilation (ventilation settings).
