Body Impedance Analysis to Detect ICUAW

Germany62 participantsStarted 2023-02-08

Plain-language summary

The aim of the study is to detect a value of muscle and organ mass measured by body impedance analysis and its correlation with the Medical Research Council (MRC) score. An MRC score ≤ 48 is defined as a diagnosis of ICU acquired weakness. The correlation of the values detected by BIA and their transfer to an MRC Score ≤ 48 will be investigated. The knowledge gained will be used for early detection of ICUAW in order to reduce the consequences of the same.
