Diaphragm muscle dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a fundamental marker of several age-related diseases and conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure and critical illness with respiratory failure. In older individuals with physical frailty and sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and function may also involve the diaphragm, contributing to respiratory dysfunction. Ultrasound has recently emerged as a feasible and reliable strategy to visualize diaphragm structure and function. In particular, it can help to predict the timing of extubation in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in intensive care units (ICUs). Ultrasonographic evaluation of diaphragmatic function is relatively cheap, safe and quick and can provide useful information for real-time monitoring of respiratory function. In this review, we aim to present the current state of scientific evidence on the usefulness of ultrasound in the assessment of diaphragm dysfunction in different clinical settings, with a particular focus on older patients. We highlight the importance of the qualitative information gathered by ultrasound to assess the integrity, excursion, thickness and thickening of the diaphragm. The implementation of bedside diaphragm ultrasound could be useful for improving the quality and appropriateness of care, especially in older subjects with sarcopenia who experience acute respiratory failure, not only in the ICU setting.

“…MEP and hand grip strength are independent factors for sarcopenia [20]. Respiratory muscle strength is associated with diaphragm thickness and indicators of sarcopenia [21 ▪ ]. Older adults with abdominal obesity, dynapenia, and dynapenic abdominal obesity have impaired respiratory muscle strength [22].…”

Purpose of review Skeletal muscle weakness and wasting also occurs in the respiratory muscles, called respiratory sarcopenia. Respiratory sarcopenia may lead to worse clinical indicators and outcomes. We present a novel definition and diagnostic criteria for respiratory sarcopenia, summarize recent reports on the association between respiratory sarcopenia, physical and nutritional status, and clinical outcomes, and provide suggestions for the prevention and treatment of respiratory sarcopenia. Recent findings Recently, a novel definition and diagnostic criteria for respiratory sarcopenia have been prepared. Respiratory sarcopenia is defined as a condition in which there is both low respiratory muscle strength and low respiratory muscle mass. Respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle mass, and appendicular skeletal muscle mass are used to diagnose respiratory sarcopenia. Currently, it is challenging to definitively diagnose respiratory sarcopenia due to the difficulty in accurately determining low respiratory muscle mass. Decreased respiratory muscle strength and respiratory muscle mass are associated with lower physical and nutritional status and poorer clinical outcomes. Exercise interventions, especially respiratory muscle training, nutritional interventions, and their combinations may effectively treat respiratory sarcopenia. Preventive interventions for respiratory sarcopenia are unclear. Summary The novel definition and diagnostic criteria will contribute to promoting the assessment and intervention of respiratory sarcopenia.
