The present study is the first one to longitudinally analyse diaphragmatic ultrasound in patients with prolonged weaning. Sonographic assessment showed that Tdi and excursion increased over the course of prolonged weaning, while the diameter of a representative peripheral muscle decreased. However, the changes are rather small, and data show a wide dispersion. To allow a potential, standardized use of diaphragm ultrasound for diagnostic decision support in prolonged weaning, further studies in this specific patient group are required.
