超声评估慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者膈肌功能应用进展

Application advancements of ultrasound in assessment of diaphragmatic function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)是以持续性气流受限为特征的进行性加重疾病,全身性炎症及过度通气可引起膈肌功能障碍。评估膈肌功能的传统方法均为侵入性检查,且结果缺乏特异性。近年来,超声作为一种简单、无创测量膈肌收缩性的方法而备受关注。本文对超声评估COPD患者膈肌功能的方法和应用进展进行综述。

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)is a progressive disease characterized by persistent restricted airflow.Systemic inflammation and hyperventilation can cause diaphragmatic dysfunction.Conventional assessment methods of diaphragmatic function are invasive and lack of specificity.Recently,as a simple,noninvasive method of quantification of diaphragm contractile activity,ultrasound has attracted great attention.The progresses of ultrasound methods and application for assessing diaphragm function of patients with COPD were reviewed in this article.
