The effect of mechanical ventilation on respiratory muscle echogenicity in critically ill children: an observational cohort study

Abstract Background Respiratory muscle weakness is common in critically ill children. Changes in respiratory muscle structure play pivotal role in the development of weakness. Echogenicity is a non-invasive marker to detect structural changes in skeletal muscles. In this study, we evaluated respirat...
