Summary
This study looked at whether measuring muscle thickness in the thigh and breathing muscles with ultrasound before heart or lung surgery can help predict complications like kidney failure, breathing trouble, or infection. Researchers followed 301 patients aged 65 and older. The goal was to see if a quick, radiation-free scan could give doctors a better idea of a patient's strength and recovery risk.
