Despite advances in less invasive techniques, the incidence of DD remains significant, affecting ~55%\u201368% of patients after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Non-intubated VATS (NIVATS) has gained popularity for its safety, but its impact on outcomes, particularly DD, remains unclear. We aim to determine the incidence of DD following NIVATS in adult patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The DYNASTY (Diaphragmatic dYsfunction after Non-intubated video ASsisted Thoracic surgerY) study is a prospective, single-centre, single-arm observational study including 100 adult patients undergoing NIVATS for minor elective thoracoscopic procedures. Diaphragmatic function is assessed using bedside ultrasound preoperatively (baseline) and at 2 and 24 hours postoperatively. The primary outcome is the incidence of DD at 24 hours (defined as diaphragmatic excursion \u226410\u2009mm on quiet breathing). Secondary outcomes include the incidence of postoperative respiratory complications (eg, pneumonia, acute chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation) and their association with DD. Statistical analyses will estimate DD incidence with 95% CIs and employ multivariable logistic regression to identify predictors of DD, adjusting for potential confounders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study protocol was approved by an institutional ethics committee (ID 2024-A009121-45), and all participants will provide written informed consent.
