Researchers track muscle wasting in ventilated ICU patients

NCT ID NCT07303335

Summary

This study aims to understand how common severe muscle loss (sarcopenia) is in ICU patients who need breathing machines for more than two days. Researchers will measure muscle mass and strength when patients enter the ICU and track if they develop additional weakness during their hospital stay. The goal is to gather information to help future patient care, not to test a treatment.
