Muscle Mass and Body Composition

Frisius Medisch Centrum23 enrolled

Overview

ICUacquired weakness is a common complication of critical illness, particularly in patients receiving mechanical ventilation and/or suffering from conditions leading to the systemic inflammatory response syndrome.

The weakness and disability that result from these neuromuscular disorders can dominate the lont-term course and impede recovery. In this observational study we try to measure muscle mass and body composition by echocardiography and BIVA at admission and on day 2, 5
