Keywords

Coronavirus; SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19; Intensive Care Units; Ultrasonography

Outcome Measures

  Change in the thickness of the diaphragm and quadriceps femoris muscles.

  Day 1, 5, and within 24 hours after ICU discharge.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Respiratory muscle thickness

  At the end of data collection, within 24 hours after ICU discharge.

• Muscle thickness and functional outcomes

  At the end of data collection, within 24 hours after ICU discharge.

Study Arms (1)

Ultrasound assessment

Muscle ultrasound evaluation

Diagnostic Test: Muscle ultrasound evaluation

Interventions

Muscle ultrasound evaluation DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Muscle ultrasound evaluation will be performed in patients admitted with COVID-19 requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. The measurements of thickness and thickening fraction will occur for diaphragm, abdominal - rectus abdominis, internal oblique, external oblique and transverse abdomen - and parasternal intercostal muscles. Serial measurements of the thickness and echogenicity of the quadriceps femoris muscle will also be performed.

Ultrasound assessment

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

SARS-CoV-2 patients admitted to the intensive care unit requiring invasive mechanical ventilation.

You may qualify if:

• patients admitted to ICU
• having a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19
• requiring invasive mechanical ventilation.

You may not qualify if:

• exclusive palliative care;
• neuromuscular diseases;
• patients who evolve with the need for lower limb amputation;
• previous known diaphragm malformations and dysfunctions;
• patients transferred from other institutions under invasive mechanical ventilation;
• clinical conditions that make the respiratory and peripheral muscle assessment through ultrasound unfeasible.
