Association between fluid balance, muscle strength, and muscle quality in critically ill patients: a retrospective observational study

Abstract

Extrait de l'abstract : "Intensive Care Unit–acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a frequent complication that significantly impairs functional recovery in critically ill patients. Fluid overload during critical illness has been associated with adverse outcomes, but its relationship with peripheral muscle quality and strength remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association between cumulative fluid balance, ultrasound-assessed muscle quality, and muscle strength in critically ill patients."
