Can ultrasound predict recovery in ICU patients?

NCT ID NCT07475767

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether ultrasound can measure muscle and fat in patients recovering from surgery in the intensive care unit. Researchers will track 50 patients, linking these measurements to their nutritional risk and how long they need a breathing machine. The goal is to find a simple way to identify patients who need extra nutritional support.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors better assess nutrition and predict recovery in ICU patients using simple ultrasound.

What could go wrong

This is a small observational study (50 people) at one hospital, so results may not apply widely. It only measures, not tests a treatment.
