Abstract
When assessed by M-mode US, DD appeared to be common in ventilated patients aged 80 years or older and was associated with a higher incidence of weaning failure. Larger right diaphragmatic movements or faster right diaphragmatic contraction velocity appeared to be good predictors of mechanical ventilation weaning success in elderly patients.
