Muscle Ultrasound Signifies Condition Upgrade Leading Approach to Recovery

NCT02014285 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1

Last updated 2017-11-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Examination of serial muscle ultrasounds and muscle sampling within the population of ICU patients who require mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure, will lead to the ability of investigators to link specific baseline comorbidities, drugs, or fluid administrations, to the onset and duration of architectural changes within muscle and correlate ultimately with muscle function. With this study, we will be better able to understand the relationships between the pattern of resolution of the muscle architectural abnormalities within the context of multiple other clinical abnormalities and therapies present and rendered to ICU patients.

Conditions

  • Acute Respiratory Failure
  • Critical Illness

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Muscle Ultrasound and Muscle Sample

The muscles to undergo ultrasound will include the biceps brachii, wrist extensors, quadriceps, and tibialis anterior. A muscle sample will be taken from the rectus femoris.
