Brief summary

In this mono-center pilot trial, polytrauma patients admitted to intensive care will be included. Investigators are going to take blood and muscle samples at respecified time points to do metabolic, histological and molecular testing. Aim of the study is to investigate (1) changes of the blood metabolome in patients with ICUAW (intensive care unit acquired weakness) and (2) identify metabolic components who are responsible for ICUAW or can be used as marker for ICUAW.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Metabolomicsa median of 14 daysBlood Metabolome will be isolated from blood samples. All samples will be screened for changes in the blood metabolome during muscle wasting (i.e. Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness) using mass spectrometry

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Muscle histologya median of 14 daysImmunohistochemistry will be done in muscle samples. All samples will be screened for changes in the muscular structure and correlation with blood metabolome changes.
Phosphoproteomicsa median of 14 daysPhosphoproteomics will be done in muscle samples using mass spectrometry. All samples will be screened for influence of muscular changes (i.e. Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness (ICUAW)) and correlation with blood metabolome changes.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Identify possible predictors of muscle wasting in the blood metabolome at ICU admissiona median of 14 daysIdentify metabolites or combinations of metabolites whose high or low concentration(s) at ICU admission associate(s) with the amount of muscle loss. These metabolites are candidate biomarkers that could be used to identify individuals at risk of large muscle wasting and may give further insights into the mechanisms of muscle wasting.
