AI-Summary
What this Trial Is About
The aim of this observational case-control study is to investigate, whether artificial intelligence can detect ultrasound-derived imaging characteristics typical for intensive care unit-acquired weakness. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the evaluation of specific parameters of neuromuscular ultrasound using AI-based image analysis suitable for detecting and monitoring critically ill ICU patients with ICUAW? 2. Do the results of AI-based ultrasound image analysis correlate with: (A) the severity of ICUAW (B) the visual grading of muscle echogenicity (C) the 30- and 90-day-outcome?
