This research study looks at whether ultrasound imaging — a safe, painless scanning tool — can help doctors understand a patient's nutritional status and overall strength during recovery from surgery in the intensive care unit. The researchers want to see if measuring muscle thickness using ultrasound can help predict how long patients will stay in the ICU and what their recovery outcomes will be.
Doctors know that a patient's nutritional status and physical strength are connected to how well they recover after major surgery, but there isn't a simple, non-invasive way to measure this reliably. This study aims to find out whether ultrasound can fill that gap and help doctors identify patients who may need extra support during their ICU stay.

If you join this study, researchers will perform painless ultrasound scans on your leg to measure muscle thickness and other signs of nutritional status while you are in the ICU. They will also review your medical information, including lab results and health scores, to see if the ultrasound measurements can help predict your recovery time and outcomes. The study is observational, meaning you won't receive any new treatment — the ultrasound is just an additional way to gather information about your condition.
