The Effects of Positive End Expiratory Pressure and Lung Volume on Diaphragm Thickness and Thickening

<b>Introduction</b>: Diaphragm dysfunction is common in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. The application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and the varying end-expiratory lung volume cause changes in diaphragm geometry. We aimed to assess the impact of the level of PEE...
