Summary

This study explores whether a painless ultrasound technique, called shear wave elastography, can detect early signs of muscle weakness in critically ill patients on breathing machines. About 98 adults will have their nerves scanned on days 1, 4, and 7 in the ICU. The goal is to see if changes in nerve stiffness can predict weakness earlier than current methods, which require patients to follow commands.
