About

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.
