Ultrasound for body measurement in critical care
Part of Brain & nervous system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure body composition in women admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology critical care unit. It aims to see if ultrasound can help assess health status in critically ill patients.
