Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the validity of point of care USG in measuring thickness of rectus femoris among critically ill ICU admitted patients against mNUTRIC score for identifying muscle wastingTimepoint: At baseline, alternate days till patient discharged

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To determine muscle wasting in critically ill ICU admitted patients over seven days or till discharge using point of care USG measuring thickness of rectus femoris & mNUTRIC scoreTimepoint: At baseline, alternate days till patient discharged;To determine the correlation of mNUTRIC score with muscle wasting among critically ill patientsTimepoint: At baseline, alternate days till patient discharged;To determine correlation between muscle loss with severity of illness as measured by APACHE Score & SOFA scoreTimepoint: At baseline, alternate days till patient discharged;To determine correlation between number of survival days, mortality, length of ICU stay & number of days on mechanical ventilation with muscle wastingTimepoint: At baseline, alternate days till patient discharged
