Ultrasound and nutrition in surgical ICU patients

Nutritional StatusMuscle Thickness of the Quadriceps FemorisFrailty

This trial uses ultrasound to check muscle and body composition in patients recovering from surgery in the ICU. It also looks at how nutrition affects recovery, so you may be asked about your diet.

Studying frailty support for ICU patients

This trial looks at ways to help “frailty” (low strength and resilience) in people staying in intensive care units. It mainly enrolls adults who expect to be in the ICU for more than 24 hours, and it tries to avoid people whose mobility problems have other causes.

Frailty and muscle thickness in older ICU patients

This study looks at how frailty relates to muscle thickness in the thigh for patients over 65 who stay in the intensive care unit for at least a week. It aims to find ways to better support recovery.

Ultrasound and fluid monitoring in the ICU

This study uses ultrasound and electrical impedance (skin electrodes) to track fluid balance in the muscles and tissues of ICU patients. It aims to see if these tools can help doctors better manage fluids during your stay.

Ultrasound measures neck muscle changes in older ICU patients

This trial uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of a neck muscle to see how it relates to muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people in intensive care. It may help researchers find simple ways to spot and track muscle decline during an ICU stay.
