Table 2 DE and DTF values of all patients at 1-day MV and 4-day MV (mean ± standard deviation)

From: Early rehabilitation relieves diaphragm dysfunction induced by prolonged mechanical ventilation: a randomised control study

Time points DE (cm) DTF
1-day of MV 1.42 ± 0.53 0.16 ± 0.06
4-day of MV 1.30 ± 0.44 0.13 ± 0.06
p-value  < 0.001  < 0.001
  1. Differences between different times were calculated by paired t test. MV, mechanical ventilation; DE, diaphragmatic excursion; DTF, diaphragm thickening fraction
