Sarcopenia in ICU patients on long-term ventilation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study checks for muscle loss (sarcopenia) in ICU patients who need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation). It aims to track how muscle health changes during hospital stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be 18 years or older.
- Expected to need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) for more than 48 hours.

This study looks at different ways to predict whether a person will successfully come off a breathing machine (ventilator). It checks muscle strength, diaphragm ultrasound, and other weaning tests to help doctors decide the best time to remove the breathing tube.
This study looks at how loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) affects the course of illness in people with gastrointestinal cancers, liver cirrhosis, or those in the ICU. It will help doctors better understand and treat muscle wasting.
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) that can happen quickly in older adults during a hospital stay. It aims to understand how common it is and what factors might contribute, which could help improve care for patients.
This study uses ultrasound to check the muscles that help you swallow and move. It aims to see if measuring these muscles can predict swallowing problems and muscle loss after being on a breathing machine.
This study looks at proteins in the blood to understand muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with chronic lung disease. It aims to find better ways to detect and manage this condition.
This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
