    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the correlation between variations in ultrasound-measured diaphragm movement and changes in the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) after the start of noninvasive ventilation (NIV). MATERIAL AND METHODS: RDescriptive study of a prospective case series comprised of nonconsecutive patients aged 18 years or older with hypercapnic respiratory failure who were placed on NIV in an emergency department. We recorded clinical data, blood gas measurements, and ultrasound measurements of diaphragm movement. RESULTS: Twenty-one patients with a mean (SD) age of 83 (13) years were studied; 11 (52.4%) were women. The mean (SD) range of diaphragm movement and PCO2 values at 4 moments were as follows: 1) at baseline: diaphragm movement, 13.90 (7.7) mm and PCO2, 71.75 (11.4) mm Hg; 2) after 15 minutes on NIV: diaphragm movement, 17.10 (9.1) mm; 3) at 1 hour: diaphragm movement, 22.40 (10.4) mm and PCO2, 63.45 (16.0) mm Hg; and 4) at 3 hours: diaphragm movement, 26.60 (19.5) mm and PCO2, 61.85 (13.0) mm Hg. We detected a statistically significant correlation between the difference in range of diaphragm movement at baseline and at 15 minutes and the decrease in PCO2 after 1 hour of NIV (r=-0.489, P=.035). CONCLUSION: In patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure, the increase in range of diaphragm movement 15 minutes after starting NIV is associated with a decrease in PCO2 after 1 hour. OBJETIVO: Correlacionar la variación de la movilidad diafragmática (MD), medida a través de ecografía, con el cambio en la presión parcial arterial de CO2 de (pCO2) tras el inicio de la ventilación mecánica no invasiva (VMNI). METODO: Estudio descriptivo de una serie de casos prospectivo que incluyó por oportunidad a los pacientes de 18 o más años con insuficiencia respiratoria hipercápnica en los que se inició la VMNI en urgencias. Se recogieron variables clínicas, gasométricas y mediciones ecográficas de la MD directa (MDD) y MD portal (MDP). RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 21 pacientes, con una edad media de 83 (DE 13) años, de ellos 11 mujeres (52,4%). Los valores de MDD y pCO2 fueron: 1) basal: MDD 13,9 (DE 7,7) mm y pCO2 71,7 (DE: 11,4) mmHg; 2) 15 minutos: MDD 17,1 (DE 9,1) mm; 3) 1 hora: MDD 22,4 (DE 10,4) y pCO2 63,4 (DE: 16,0) mmHg; 4) 3 horas: MDD 26,6 (DE: 19,5) mm y pCO2 61,8 (DE :13,0) mmHg. Hubo correlación estadísticamente significativa entre la diferencia a los 15 minutos y basal de MDD y el descenso a la hora de pCO2 (r = –0,489; p = 0,035). CONCLUSIONES: El aumento de la MDD a los 15 minutos del inicio de la VMNI se relaciona con una disminución de la pCO2 a la hora en los pacientes con insuficiencia respiratoria hipercápnica.
