Study Overview

Brief Summary

There are small studies suggesting a correlation between difference in skeletal muscle thickness (rectus femoris + vastus intermedius), diaphragmatic thickness and excursion with weaning failure. As measurement of diaphragmatic thickness and excursion is difficult we have planned to determine correlation between USG guided delta rectus femoris muscle thickness and weaning failure in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients.
