Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to measure movement-related potential (MRP) amplitude and excitation-contraction coupling time (ECCT) during the early phase of intensive care unit (ICU) admission (within 7 days) in critically ill patients and to clarify the association between these electrophysiological parameters and the subsequent development of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW). Furthermore, this study will evaluate whether MRP amplitude and ECCT obtained during the early ICU stay can discriminate patients who subsequently develop ICUAW, thereby assessing their utility as bedside tools for the early detection of ICUAW.
The rationale for this study is that, although ICUAW has a substantial impact on the prognosis of critically ill patients, objective diagnosis during the early phase of ICU admission remains challenging using currently available clinical assessment methods alone. By employing a non-invasive and relatively simple electrophysiological approach, this study may facilitate the early identification of the pathophysiological changes associated with ICUAW and support timely clinical decision-making regarding early intervention.

Key inclusion criteria

Patients who meet all of the following criteria will be eligible for enrollment:

Patients admitted to the ICU at Sapporo Medical University Hospital
Patients aged 18 years or older

Patients (or their legally acceptable representative) who have provided written informed consent for participation in this study

Key exclusion criteria

Patients who meet any of the following criteria will not be eligible for enrollment:

Patients in whom appropriate testing is difficult due to skin disorders, trauma, infection, or other conditions at the measurement muscle or stimulation site
Patients in whom the specified measurements are difficult to perform due to limb amputation, marked contracture, or other reasons
Patients judged unsuitable for study participation by the principal investigator, sub-investigator, or attending physician
