Registration Number
NCT03819959
Lead Sponsor
Technical University of Munich
Brief Summary

In this mono-center pilot trial, polytrauma patients admitted to intensive care will be included. Investigators are going to take blood and muscle samples at respecified time points to do metabolic, histological and molecular testing.

Aim of the study is to investigate (1) changes of the blood metabolome in patients with ICUAW (intensive care unit acquired weakness) and (2) identify metabolic components who are responsible for ICUAW or can be used as marker for ICUAW.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Metabolomicsa median of 14 days

Blood Metabolome will be isolated from blood samples. All samples will be screened for changes in the blood metabolome during muscle wasting (i.e. Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness) using mass spectrometry

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Muscle histologya median of 14 days

Immunohistochemistry will be done in muscle samples. All samples will be screened for changes in the muscular structure and correlation with blood metabolome changes.

Phosphoproteomicsa median of 14 days

Phosphoproteomics will be done in muscle samples using mass spectrometry. All samples will be screened for influence of muscular changes (i.e. Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness (ICUAW)) and correlation with blood metabolome changes.
