Condition: Respiratory Muscles · Respiration, Artificial · Respiratory Function Tests · Sponsor: University Hospital, Antwerp
This is a multicentre prospective cohort trial in adult and pediatric ICU patients. The investigators will measure the effect of a patient's inspiratory effort during mechanical ventilation on the lungs and diaphragm. The investigators will daily (for a maximum of 8 days) measure esophageal pressures with a balloon catheter to quantify inspiratory effort and respiratory muscle function, and perform daily ultrasound measurements of the diaphragm and the lungs. The investigators hypothesize that a small inspiratory effort will result in the preservation of diaphragm function and have no adverse effect on lung function.
