Long-term mechanical ventilation (MV) is defined as the use of MV for more than 6 hours per day for at least 3 weeks. Children requiring long-term MV include those with neuromuscular disease, central dysregulation, or lung dysfunction. Such children with medical complexity may be at risk for ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. Ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction has been described in adult patients requiring acute MV with ultrasound (US). At this time, diaphragmatic US has not been evaluated in the pediatric post-acute care setting or incorporated into weaning strategies. We present 24 cases of children requiring long-term MV who underwent diaphragmatic US examinations to evaluate for ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction.
