Abstract
Background: Diaphragmatic weakness is common among patients undergoing mechanical ventilation and is considered a contributing factor in weaning failure.Recent studies have proposed that the ventilator is one of the causes of decreased diaphragm force-generating capacity seen in mechanically ventilated patients.On the other hand, myopathy is a common complication of ICU stay and may delay mechanic...
