This study was designed to investigate the relationship between muscle mass and physiological parameters and blood gas values in adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit. While muscle mass will be determined using anthropometric measurements, SpO₂, pulse rate, blood pressure, diuresis, and arterial blood gas values will be evaluated. The primary hypothesis of the study is that there is a significant relationship between muscle mass and, in particular, oxygenation and other physiological and blood gas parameters.
None
Patients with a history of previously diagnosed neuromuscular disorders (myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic polyneuropathies)
Patients with severe renal or hepatic insufficiency that could directly affect muscle mass
Presence of severe edema: Patients with a pitting edema score of 3+ or 4+ on the pitting edema test, or individuals with documented widespread edema in nursing or medical records
Patients with an amputation, hematoma, or open wound on the extremity to be measured
The study data will include adult patients hospitalized in the palliative care intensive care unit, the pulmonary intensive care unit, and the cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit at Erzurum City Hospital.
