Article Synopsis
- Survivors of critical illness often experience significant skeletal muscle wasting that impacts their overall function, which is the focus of this study.
- The study involved 63 critically ill patients from two hospitals in England, with data collected on muscle loss through serial ultrasounds and multiple other measurement techniques within the first ten days of ICU admission.
- Results showed a notable reduction in muscle size, particularly in patients with multiorgan failure, highlighting the importance of understanding protein synthesis and breakdown in managing critical illness recovery.
