ICU muscle loss linked to dangerous swallowing trouble

NCT ID NCT07076524

Summary

This study aims to understand how quickly patients in intensive care lose muscle in their mouth and throat, and if this causes dangerous swallowing problems. Researchers will measure muscle size and swallowing ability in 160 critically ill patients and compare them to less ill patients. The goal is to find better ways to spot and treat swallowing issues to help patients eat and drink safely and recover faster.
