ABSTRACT
Limitation of consciousness level in intensive care unit (ICU) patients poses a great challenge to muscle strength assessment. Muscle ultrasound does not require patient cooperation, and can objectively measure significant changes in muscle cross-sectional area, thickness, echo intensity, and pennation angle to identify muscle atrophy early in the ICU. At the same time, muscle ultrasound technology is easy to be grasped by ICU doctors and nurses, and both show great reliability, which has certain significance for identifying patients at high risk of ICU-acquired weakness. In addition, ultrasound quantitative assessment of muscle has great value for predicting patient outcomes. Large-scale studies on the diagnostic value of ultrasound in ICU-acquired weakness are still lacking, and standardized ultrasound assessment scheme requires further discussion.
