Brief Summary: Mechanical ventilation MV is associated with adverse outcomes in ventilated patients and impact of MV-induced diaphragm changes are still unclear

The objective of this prospective observational study is to assess muscle thickness and strength specifically in limb muscles such as the quadriceps among critically ill patients who undergo extended mechanical ventilation during their Intensive Care Unit ICU stay

The primary inquiries this study seeks to address are

Is there an association between muscle thickness and strength in the limbs of critically ill patients undergoing prolonged MV
How much thickness and strength variation can be expected in respiratory and limb muscles in critically ill patients undergoing prolonged MV
Detailed Description: The methodology for measuring the thickness of the diaphragm and quadriceps involves the use of bedside ultrasound In terms of diaphragmatic assessment to ensure consistency over multiple timepoints the areas of the lower limbs evaluated Quadriceps thickness Qthick and Cross section area CSA will be marked on the skin using a dermatographic pen during the peripheral assessments

Muscle strength in the limbs will be assessed utilizing the Medical Research Council MRC Score specifically in patients who are awake and cooperative RASS 0 - 1 Additionally a dynamometer will be employed for the precise measurement of quadriceps strength serving as the gold standard

The timeline for data collection during the observational period is structured as follows

T1 48-72 hours from the start of invasive MV after intubation T2 At the initial trial in pressure support mode T3 Immediately prior to extubation T4 Before discharge from the Intensive Care Unit
