Abstract：Objective To determine the relationship between the thickness of the diaphragm and respiratory function in lobectomy patients using the color Doppler .Methods 64 patients with thoracic lobectomy surgery under direct vision color Doppler ultrasound to measure the thickness of the diaphragm , observe respiratory dynamics indicators'changes .Results Based on intraoperative color ultrasound test results , patients are divided into ≤3 mm groups ( n =7 ) , 4 mm group ( n =20), 5 mm group( n =29) and ≥6 mm group( n =8).Diaphragm thickness of 4 mm group and the 5 mm group's lung function were better than diaphragm ≤3 mm group and ≥6 mm group, the best group of lung function was 5 mm group, and≥6 mm group was the worst (except SaO2, all P <0.05).Conclusion The detection of diaphragm thickness by ultra-sound can be used as a clinical predictor of respiratory compensatory function to a certain extent , the status of diaphragmatic power pump may reflect the compensatory ability of respiratory function .
