Scientists probe why ICU survivors struggle to regain strength

NCT ID NCT06193980

Summary

This study aims to understand why people who survive a serious illness in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) often have long-lasting muscle weakness and trouble exercising. Researchers will measure heart and lung fitness, as well as blood flow in the muscles, in 50 ICU survivors at 6 and 12 months after leaving the hospital. The goal is to learn how problems with small blood vessels might contribute to this weakness, which could help guide future treatments.
