| Core Tip |
Ultrasonography-measured quadriceps muscle thickness may be an early marker of adverse outcome among patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, while the technological approach is available for routine bedside use in the ICU, its application in daily care can increase the workload of ICU physicians. In this study, we found that quadriceps muscle thickness measurement by using ultrasonography can be done reliably by nurses, to a degree that is comparable to that of ICU fellows and a critical care consultant. These results suggest that nurses may be trained easily and used for ultrasonography measurement of quadriceps muscle thickness. |
