CT, MuscleSound, Ultrasound

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether ultrasound images (pictures) can be used as a valid assessment of muscle quality in different muscle groups during Intensive Care stay. This new approach would allow clinicians to obtain frequent skeletal muscle images and would enable doctors to observe any changes over time in muscle quality that could occur during ICU stay. Participants in this study will have ultrasound images made of their leg-, chest- and jaw muscles taken on every day until ICU discharge.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Muscle Quality from the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, intermedius, intercostalis, temporalis and styloglossusMinimum of every other day while in ICU (up to 10 days). Once discharged from ICU minimum of 3x a week until discharge (up to 3 weeks)Ultrasound-derived area of intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) and intramuscular glycogen content from the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, intermedius, intercostalis, temporalis and styloglossus
Muscle volume and thickness from the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, intermedius, intercostalis, temporalis and styloglossusMinimum of every other day while in ICU (up to 10 days). Once discharged from ICU minimum of 3x a week until discharge (up to 3 weeks)Ultrasound-derived volume and thicknessfrom the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, intermedius, intercostalis, temporalis and styloglossus
