Sponsor's own description

Loss of muscle mass is a major cause of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) and is associated with delayed weaning; prolonged ICU and hospital stay and is an independent predictor of one year mortality. Theoretically, the best strategy to minimize muscle loss during ICU stay, is delivering an appropriate nutritional support. Studying the correlation between the sequential assessments of quadriceps femoris muscle layer thickness (QMLT) by the aid of Ultrasound in addition to the traditional method (NB) for assessment of nutritional status may be helpful to predict outcome and mortality.
