Diaphragmatic excursion measurement in emergency department patients with acute dyspnea to predict mechanical ventilation use

Résumé

Introduction: Ultrasound is a feasible and reproducible method for measuring right diaphragmatic excursion (RDE) in ED patients with acute dyspnea (AD). In AD patients, the correlation between the RDE value and the need for mechanical ventilation (MV) is not known. Materials: This was a bicentric, observational prospective study. The RDE measurement was done at admission. The need for MV was defined by the use of MV within 4 h of AD management. An optimal threshold for RDE was determined as the value that minimized the incorrect predictions of the use of MV in the first 4 h as the highest Youden index. Results: We analyzed 102 patients (79 [70; 86] years), 38 (37%) of whom had been ventilated. The RDE value was 1.7 cm [1.4; 2.0] and 2.2 cm [1.8; 2.6] in the ventilated and non-ventilated groups, respectively (p = 0.06). The AUC was 0.68 95% CI [0.57; 0.80]. With a threshold of 2 cm, the sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), and positive predictive value (PPV) were 76% [60%; 89%], 59% [46%; 71%], 81% [67%; 91%], and 53% [39%; 66%], respectively. In the non-COPD patients, the RDE values were 1.5 cm [1.2; 1.9] and 2.2 cm [1.8; 2.6] (p < 0.01) in the ventilated and not-ventilated groups, respectively. The AUC was 0.77 95% CI [0.64; 0.90]. With a threshold of 2.18 cm, the sensitivity, specificity, NPV, and PPV were 91% [71%; 99%], 51% [36%; 66%], 92% [75%; 99%], and 54% [38%; 69%], respectively. Conclusion: The RDE values at ED admission were unable to define a prognostic threshold value associated with subsequent MV need in the AD patients. In non-COPD patients, the NPV was 92%.
