Study summary

In this mono-center pilot trial, surgical patients who are at high risk to be admitted to intensive care will be screened and asked for participation. We are going to take blood and muscle samples at respecified time points to do metabolic, histological and molecular testing.

Aim of the study is to investigate (1) changes of the blood metabolome in patients with ICUAW (intensive care unit acquired weakness) and (2) identify metabolic components who are responsible for ICUAW or can be used as marker for ICUAW.

Healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: * invasive mechanically ventilated critically ill patient with expected intensive care unit stay \> 3 days * postoperative patient * ≥ 18 years old * American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) classification ≥ III Exclusion Criteria: * moribund patient * non-curative care (comfort care)

Primary outcome measure(s)

Metabolomics — a median of 14 days
Blood Metabolome will be isolated from blood samples. All samples will be screened for influence of Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness (ICUAW) using mass spectrometry.
