Abstract: Pulmonary monitoring during invasive artificial ventilation by means of diaphragmatic ultrasound has become a valuable tool as a predictor of ventilatory weaning, and its use is currently being expressed beyond this process.The aim of this review was to describe current elements on the role of ultrasound in the follow-up of diaphragmatic dysfunction in critically ill patients.A narrative review of the literature available in Google Scholar, Pumed/Medline, regional SciELO, and academic Google was performed under the terms: diaphragmatic function-diaphragmatic dysfunction in ventilated patients/diaphragmatic ultrasound in ventilated patients: importance/diaphragmatic ultrasound variables.The present manuscript focuses on the current evidence on the main clinical scenarios in which diaphragmatic ultrasound has been used.It has the novelty of showing other scopes of the procedure outside the classically used.For this part, 40 references that met the selection criteria were selected.Diaphragmatic ultrasound at the patient's bedside is an important pillar of great current validity in the evaluation of ventilated patients, providing real-time information on the function and progressive behavior of the diaphragm.It allows estimating the need for ventilatory assistance, the risk of prolonged hospital stay and mortality.It also represents a tool for successful disconnection.
