'Ventilator-Induced Diaphragmatic Dysfunction (VIDD) was originally described by Vassilakopoulos and Petrof in 1998, where it is used to cover the effects of mechanical ventilation and respiratory muscle unloading on the diaphragm. A recent article by Grosu and colleagues has demonstrated that the thickness of the diaphragm decreases with about 6% a day in a small cohort of mechanically ventilated patients. This is a longitudinal, single-centre, observational cohort study to examine the long-term effects of invasive mechanical ventilation on the diaphragm, and to study the risk factors associated with VIDD.

Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
The patient has been hospitalized and mechanically ventilated (invasive or non- invasive) in the period up to 1 year before start of the study.
The patient is known or suspected to have an anatomical malformation of the diaphragm.
The patient suffers from a disease that may impair diaphragmatic function:
The patient is known or suspected to have a psychiatric illness inhibiting his/her cooperation with the study protocol or possibly obscuring the obtained results.
The patient has been mechanically ventilated for over 24 hours before the first ultrasonographic measurement can be performed.

All patients that are admitted in ICU and who require mechanical ventilation will be screened for inclusion, and participants will be enrolled after informed consent. The study population will be a mixed medical/surgical cohort, selected with non-probability sampling because of the different eligibility criteria.
