Weaning from ventilator sometimes can be failed and it happened due to several factors. One of the causes was Ventilator Induced Diaphragm Dysfunction (VIDD). This VIDD process occurred due to thinning process of the diaphragm thickness or decreased diaphragm muscle mass. The whole process happened due to inflammatory reaction that usually appeared on patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Thus, this study was aimed to find the relationship between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with diaphragm thickness of critical patients in ICU.
