Brief Summary  

On the day of admission to the ICU, the mNUTRIC score will be calculated. The patients will be either on oxygen therapy devices like face mask, venturi devices, non-rebreathing bag mask (NRBM), non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Diaphragm muscle thickness and diaphragmatic thickness fraction (DTF) will be evaluated on the right hemi-diaphragm on day od admission to ICU ie day 0, day 3, day 7 in ICU. Ultrasound imaging will be done with B- mode ultrasound with linear transducer probes. With the patients being 30-degree head up as usually in the ICU, the linear transducer will be placed perpendicularly on the right chest wall, between the anterior axillary and mid-axillary lines, between 8-10 intercostal space, at the zone of apposition between pleura and diaphragm. Measurements of diaphragm muscle thickness will be done three times at end-expiration, and the mean value will be recorded. Similarly DTF will be evaluated 3 times, and the mean value will be recorded.

Diaphragmatic Thickness Fraction(DTF) = Thickness at end inspiration- Thickness at end expiration/ Thickness at end expiration

 

      On the days 1,3,7 of ICU stay, lung ultrasound will be done after ultrasonographic evaluation of both lungs, and scoring will be done as under
