Ultrasonography in Assessment of Respiratory Muscles Function: A Systematic Review

Conclusion: A strong relationship between US measurements and pulmonary parameters was demonstrated in some studies but not others. This review confirmed that US measurements can complement spirometry, but the exact role of the US remains to be confirmed. Further studies using standardized methodology are needed to obtain more conclusive evidence on the usefulness of US for assessing respiratory function.Respiration
