About this trial
The study will be conducted as a single-center, prospective cohort study. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the responsiveness of sonographic parameters of diaphragm to detect change in Borg score for dyspnea during hospitalisation for AECOPD without respiratory acidosis.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Hospitalisation primarily because of severe acute exacerbation of COPD
COPD, according to GOLD 2018 definition
Post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 0,70 and FEV1% < 80%pred. within last 5 years
Disqualifiers
Respiratory acidosis (pH < 7.35 ánd PaCO2 > 6 kPA)
Need for (non-)invasive ventilation based on other criteria (e.g. severe hypoxia) upon presentation.
Established diagnosis of diaphragm diaphragm paralysis.
Inability for diaphragm imaging (e.g. mechanical ventilation, or unable to follow vocal instructions).
