Scientists track why ICU patients struggle to walk again
NCT ID NCT03753412
Summary
This study aims to understand why some patients develop severe muscle weakness after surviving a life-threatening heart or lung failure that required advanced life support (ECMO) in the intensive care unit. Researchers will observe 100 adult patients to see how their muscle size, strength, and quality of life change during recovery. The goal is to identify factors that help or hinder getting back to normal life after such a critical illness.
