Bedside Ultrasound Assessment to Detect Muscle Loss in Critically Ill Children
Bedside muscle ultrasonography is a feasible, and practical tool for early detection of muscle loss in critically ill children. Its noninvasive nature, portability, and cost-effectiveness support its potential integration into routine ICU monitoring to guide early rehabilitative or nutritional interventions. Further multicenter studies are warranted to validate these findings.
