Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Diaphraghmatic USG  Ultrasound of the diaphragm is a non-invasive, straightforward procedure that is highly reproducible in the same individuals. As a result of its extensive usage, several criteria for diaphragmatic ultrasonography have been defined, including diaphragm excursion (DE) and diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF)[4]. Bedside assessment of the measurements of diaphragm thickening during inspiration (i.e, thickening fraction ) with ultrasound, can be used to assess the inspiratory efforts during respiration.The duration of diaphraghmatic usg is 5 to 10 minutes It correlates with the diaphragmatic pressure-time product(PTP) and can be considered as a low cost, noninvasive method for the evaluation of respiratory  
Intervention  OCCLUSION PRESSURE  P0.1(Airway occlusion pressure) is the static pressure generated by all inspiratory muscles against an occluded airway at 0.1s after the onset of inspiration. It is independent of any mechanical load, and it is independant of respiratory system mechanics[1]. P0.1in spontaneous breathing is reliable even in cases of critical illness myopathy of the respiratory muscles. In healthy adults the normal values are in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 cm H2O.The total duration of each intervention is 0.1 second to 1 second.

Brief Summary  

P0.1(Airway occlusion pressure) is the static pressure generated by all inspiratory muscles against an occluded airway at 0.1s after the onset of inspiration. It is independent of any mechanical load, and it is independant of respiratory system mechanics[1]. P0.1in spontaneous breathing is reliable even in cases of critical illness myopathy of the respiratory muscles. In healthy adults the normal values are in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 cm H2O.

In COPD , it ranges from 2-5 cm H2O. Any value above 3.5 cm H2O in mechanically ventilated patients is considered as increased respiratory muscle effort. Values of 3 to 6 cm H2O are recorded among patients undergoing ventilation for ARDS, whereas values as high as 13 cmH2O have been recorded during weaning. Its limitations are it may dissociate from the actual respiratory drive in case of auto peep, nonintubated patients, and it may also vary based on the algorithm used to calculate the p0.1.

Ultrasound of the diaphragm is a non-invasive, straightforward procedure that is highly reproducible in the same individuals. As a result of its extensive usage, several criteria for diaphragmatic ultrasonography have been defined, including diaphragm excursion (DE) and diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF). Bedside assessment of the measurements of diaphragm thickening during inspiration (i.e, thickening fraction ) with ultrasound, can be used to assess the inspiratory efforts during respiration. It correlates with the diaphragmatic pressure-time product(PTP) and can be considered as a low cost, noninvasive method for the evaluation of respiratory drive.

The existing few literature comparing P0.1 with diaphragmatic USG have been done without randomization. To various biases and confounding factors, we will be doing this study by randomization and blinding.
