    The importance of ongoing post-discharge follow-up to prevent functional impairment in patients discharged from intensive care units (ICUs) is being increasingly recognized. Therefore, we conducted a scoping review, which included existing ICU follow-up clinic methodologies using the CENTRAL, MEDLINE, and CINAHL databases from their inception to December 2022. Data were examined for country or region, outpatient name, location, opening days, lead profession, eligible patients, timing of the follow-up, and assessment tools. Twelve studies were included in our review. The results obtained revealed that the methods employed by ICU follow-up clinics varied among countries and regions. The names of outpatient follow-up clinics also varied; however, all were located within the facility. These clinics were mainly physician or nurse led; however, pharmacists, physical therapists, neuropsychologists, and social workers were also involved. Some clinics were limited to critically ill patients with sepsis or those requiring ventilation. Ten studies reported the first outpatient visit 1-3 months after discharge. All studies assessed physical function, cognitive function, mental health, and the health-related quality of life. This scoping review revealed that an optimal operating format for ICU follow-up clinics needs to be established according to the categories of critically ill patients.

    BACKGROUND: Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is the long-lasting impairment of physical functions, cognitive functions, and mental health after intensive care. Although a long-term follow-up is essential for the successful management of PICS, few reviews have summarized evidence for the efficacy and management of the PICS follow-up system. MAIN TEXT: The PICS follow-up system includes a PICS follow-up clinic, home visitations, telephone or mail follow-ups, and telemedicine. The first PICS follow-up clinic was established in the U.K. in 1993 and its use spread thereafter. There are currently no consistent findings on the efficacy of PICS follow-up clinics. Under recent evidence and recommendations, attendance at a PICS follow-up clinic needs to start within three months after hospital discharge. A multidisciplinary team approach is important for the treatment of PICS from various aspects of impairments, including the nutritional status. We classified face-to-face and telephone-based assessments for a PICS follow-up from recent recommendations. Recent findings on medications, rehabilitation, and nutrition for the treatment of PICS were summarized. CONCLUSIONS: This narrative review aimed to summarize the PICS follow-up system after hospital discharge and provide a comprehensive approach for the prevention and treatment of PICS.

    BACKGROUND: The assessment of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is challenging due to the numerous types of instruments. We herein attempted to identify and propose recommendations for instruments to assess PICS in intensive care unit (ICU) survivors. METHODS: We conducted a scoping review to identify PICS follow-up studies at and after hospital discharge between 2014 and 2022. Assessment instruments used more than two times were included in the modified Delphi consensus process. A modified Delphi meeting was conducted three times by the PICS committee of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine, and each score was rated as not important (score: 1-3), important, but not critical (4-6), and critical (7-9). We included instruments with ≥ 70% of respondents rating critical and ≤ 15% of respondents rating not important. RESULTS: In total, 6972 records were identified in this scoping review, and 754 studies were included in the analysis. After data extraction, 107 PICS assessment instruments were identified. The modified Delphi meeting reached 20 PICS assessment instrument recommendations: (1) in the physical domain: the 6-min walk test, MRC score, and grip strength, (2) in cognition: MoCA, MMSE, and SMQ, (3) in mental health: HADS, IES-R, and PHQ-9, (4) in the activities of daily living: the Barthel Index, IADL, and FIM, (5) in quality of life: SF-36, SF-12, EQ-5D-5L, 3L, and VAS (6), in sleep and pain: PSQI and Brief Pain Inventory, respectively, and (7) in the PICS-family domain: SF-36, HADS, and IES-R. CONCLUSION: Based on a scoping review and the modified Delphi method, 20 PICS assessment instruments are recommended to assess physical, cognitive, mental health, activities of daily living, quality of life, sleep, and pain in ICU survivors and their families.

    Providing standardized, high-quality rehabilitation for critically ill patients is a crucial issue. In 2017, the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine (JSICM) promulgated the "Evidence-Based Expert Consensus for Early Rehabilitation in the Intensive Care Unit" to advocate for the early initiation of rehabilitations in Japanese intensive care settings. Building upon this seminal work, JSICM has recently conducted a rigorous systematic review utilizing the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. This endeavor resulted in the formulation of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs), designed to elucidate best practices in early ICU rehabilitation. The primary objective of this guideline is to augment clinical understanding and thereby facilitate evidence-based decision-making, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of patient outcomes in critical care settings. No previous CPGs in the world has focused specifically on rehabilitation of critically ill patients, using the GRADE approach. Multidisciplinary collaboration is extremely important in rehabilitation. Thus, the CPGs were developed by 73 members of a Guideline Development Group consisting of a working group, a systematic review group, and an academic guideline promotion group, with the Committee for the Clinical Practice Guidelines of Early Mobilization and Rehabilitation in Intensive Care of the JSICM at its core. Many members contributed to the development of the guideline, including physicians and healthcare professionals with multiple and diverse specialties, as well as a person who had been patients in ICU. Based on discussions among the group members, eight important clinical areas of focus for this CPG were identified. Fourteen important clinical questions (CQs) were then developed for each area. The public was invited to comment twice, and the answers to the CQs were presented in the form of 10 GRADE recommendations and commentary on the four background questions. In addition, information for each CQ has been created as a visual clinical flow to ensure that the positioning of each CQ can be easily understood. We hope that the CPGs will be a useful tool in the rehabilitation of critically ill patients for multiple professions.

    Sepsis is a risk factor for diaphragm dysfunction and ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW); however, the impact of mechanical ventilation (MV) on these relationships has not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to compare the incidence of diaphragm dysfunction and ICU-AW in patients with septic shock, with and without MV. We conducted a single-center prospective observational study that included consecutive patients diagnosed with septic shock admitted to the ICU between March 2021 and February 2022. Ultrasound measurements of diaphragm thickness and manual measurements of limb muscle strength were repeated after ICU admission. The incidences of diaphragm dysfunction and ICU-AW, as well as their associations with clinical outcomes, were compared between patients with MV and without MV (non-MV). Twenty-four patients (11 in the MV group and 13 in the non-MV group) were analyzed. At the final measurements in the MV group, eight patients (72.7%) had diaphragm dysfunction, and six patients (54.5%) had ICU-AW. In the non-MV group, 10 patients (76.9%) had diaphragm dysfunction, and three (23.1%) had ICU-AW. No association was found between diaphragm dysfunction and clinical outcomes. Patients with ICU-AW in the MV group had longer ICU and hospital stays. Among patients with septic shock, the incidence of diaphragm dysfunction was higher than that of ICU-AW, irrespective of the use of MV. Further studies are warranted to examine the association between diaphragm dysfunction and clinical outcomes.

    OBJECTIVES: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is used in the rehabilitation of patients with critical illness. However, it is unclear whether NMES prevents ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW). For this purpose, we conducted an updated systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES: We searched the MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Igaku Chuo Zasshi databases from April 2019 to November 2022 to identify new randomized controlled trials to the previous meta-analysis. STUDY SELECTION: We systematically searched the literature for all randomized controlled trials on the effect of NMES in patients with critical illness. DATA EXTRACTION: Two authors independently selected the studies and extracted data. They calculated the pooled effect estimates associated with the occurrence of ICU-AW and adverse events as primary outcomes and muscle mass change, muscle strength, length of ICU stay, mortality, and quality of life as secondary outcomes. The certainty of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. DATA SYNTHESIS: Overall, eight studies were added to the previous 10 studies. Evidence suggests that the use of NMES reduces the occurrence of ICU-AW (six trials; risk ratio [RR], 0.48; 95% CI, 0.32-0.72); however, NMES may have little to no effect on pricking sensation in patients (eight trials; RR, 6.87; 95% CI, 0.84-56.50). NMES is likely to reduce the change in muscle mass (four trials; mean difference, -10.01; 95% CI, -15.54 to -4.48) and may increase muscle strength (six trials; standardized mean difference, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.19-0.68). Further, NMES may result in little to no difference in the length of ICU stay, and the evidence is uncertain about the effect on mortality and quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: This updated meta-analysis revealed that the use of NMES may result in a lower occurrence of ICU-AW in patients with critical illness, but its use may have little to no effect on pricking sensation in patients.

    Burn injury is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide and places a tremendous economic burden on society. Systemic inflammatory responses induced by thermal burn injury can cause muscle wasting, a severe involuntary loss of skeletal muscle that adversely affects the survival and functional outcomes of these patients. Currently, no pharmacological interventions are available for the treatment of thermal burn-induced skeletal muscle wasting. Elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), are important hallmarks of severe burn injury. The levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)—a downstream component of IL-6 inflammatory signaling—are elevated with muscle wasting in various pro-catabolic conditions, and STAT3 has been implicated in the regulation of skeletal muscle atrophy. Here, we tested the effects of the STAT3-specific signaling inhibitor C188-9 on thermal burn injury-induced skeletal muscle wasting in vivo and on C2C12 myotube atrophy in vitro after the administration of plasma from burn model mice. In mice, thermal burn injury severity dependently increased IL-6 in the plasma and tibialis anterior muscles and activated the STAT3 (increased ratio of phospho-STAT3/STAT3) and ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathways (increased Atrogin-1/MAFbx and MuRF1). These effects resulted in skeletal muscle atrophy and reduced grip strength. In murine C2C12 myotubes, plasma from burn mice activated the same inflammatory and proteolytic pathways, leading to myotube atrophy. In mice with burn injury, the intraperitoneal injection of C188-9 (50 mg/kg) reduced activation of the STAT3 and ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathways, reversed skeletal muscle atrophy, and increased grip strength. Similarly, pretreatment of murine C2C12 myotubes with C188-9 (10 µM) reduced activation of the same inflammatory and proteolytic pathways, and ameliorated myotube atrophy induced by plasma taken from burn model mice. Collectively, these results indicate that pharmacological inhibition of STAT3 signaling may be a novel therapeutic strategy for thermal burn-induced skeletal muscle wasting.

    Optimal energy and protein delivery goals for critically ill patients remain unknown. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the impact of energy and protein delivery during the first 4 to 10 days of an ICU stay on physical impairments. We performed a systematic literature search of MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and ICHUSHI to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared energy delivery at a cut-off of 20 kcal/kg/day or 70% of estimated energy expenditure or protein delivery at 1 g/kg/day achieved within 4 to 10 days after admission to the ICU. The primary outcome was activities of daily living (ADL). Secondary outcomes were physical functions, changes in muscle mass, quality of life, mortality, length of hospital stay, and adverse events. Fifteen RCTs on energy delivery and 14 on protein were included in the analysis. No significant differences were observed in any of the outcomes included for energy delivery. However, regarding protein delivery, there was a slight improvement in ADL (odds ratio 21.55, 95% confidence interval (CI) -1.30 to 44.40, p = 0.06) and significantly attenuated muscle loss (mean difference 0.47, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.71, p < 0.0001). Limited numbers of RCTs were available to analyze the effects of physical impairments. In contrast to energy delivery, protein delivery ≥1 g/kg/day achieved within 4 to 10 days after admission to the ICU significantly attenuated muscle loss and slightly improved ADL in critically ill patients. Further RCTs are needed to investigate their effects on physical impairments.

    Muscle mass is an important factor for surviving an illness. Ultrasound has gained increased attention as a muscle mass assessment method because of its noninvasiveness and portability. However, data on the frequency of ultrasound-based muscle mass assessment are limited, and there are some barriers to its implementation. Hence, a web-based cross-sectional survey was conducted on healthcare providers in Japan, which comprised four parts: 1) participant characteristics; 2) general muscle mass assessment; 3) ultrasound-based muscle mass assessment; and 4) the necessity of, interest in, and barriers to its implementation. Necessity and interest were assessed using an 11-point Likert scale, whereas barriers were assessed using a 5-point Likert scale, in which “Strongly agree” and “Agree” were counted for the analysis. Of the 1,058 responders, 1,026 participants, comprising 282 physicians, 489 physical therapists, 84 occupational therapists, 120 nurses, and 51 dieticians, were included in the analysis. In total, 93% of the participants were familiar with general muscle mass assessment, and 64% had conducted it. Ultrasound-based muscle mass assessment was performed by 21% of the participants. Necessity and interest scored 7 (6–8) and 8 (7–10), respectively for ultrasound-based muscle mass assessment. The barriers to its implementation included lack of relevant education (84%), limited staff (61%), and absence of fixed protocol (61%). Regardless of the necessity of and interest in ultrasound-based muscle mass assessment, it was only conducted by one-fifth of the healthcare providers, and the most important barrier to its implementation was lack of education.

    Abstract Background Thyrocervical trunk rupture is an unusual, but critical, complication associated with central venous catheter (CVC) placement. The management of this complication has not been fully determined because it is rare. Case presentation A 53-year-old Japanese woman with anorexia nervosa developed refractory ventricular fibrillation. After returning spontaneous circulation, a CVC was successfully placed at the initial attempt in the right internal jugular vein using real-time ultrasound guidance. Immediately after CVC placement, she developed enlarging swelling around the neck. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed massive contrast media extravasation around the neck and mediastinum. Brachiocephalic artery angiography showed a “blush” appearance of the ruptured right thyrocervical trunk. After selective arterial embolization with 33% N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, the extravasation completely disappeared and hemostasis was achieved. Conclusion Our findings suggest that severe vascular complications arising from CVC placement can occur in patients with a fragile physiological state. Endovascular embolization is an effective treatment for such complications.

    Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) comprises physical, mental, and cognitive disorders following a severe illness. The impact of PICS on long-term prognosis has not been fully investigated. This study aimed to: (1) clarify the frequency and clinical characteristics of PICS in sepsis patients and (2) explore the relationship between PICS occurrence and 2-year survival. Patients with sepsis admitted to intensive care unit were enrolled. Data on patient background; clinical information since admission; physical, mental, and cognitive impairments at 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-sepsis onset; 2-year survival; and cause of death were obtained from electronic medical records and telephonic interviews with patients and their families. At 3 months, comparisons of variables were undertaken in the PICS group and the non-PICS group. Among the 77 participants, the in-hospital mortality rate was 11% and the 2-year mortality rate was 52%. The frequencies of PICS at 3, 6, and 12 months were 70%, 60%, and 35%, respectively. The 2-year survival was lower in the PICS group than in the non-PICS group (54% vs. 94%, p < 0.01). More than half of the survivors had PICS at 3 and 6 months after sepsis. Among survivors with sepsis, those who developed PICS after 3 months had a lower 2-year survival.

    AIM: Hip fracture is one of the most common fall-related injuries in the elderly population. Although falls may cause multiple types of injuries, no study has investigated the details of fall-related injuries accompanied by hip fractures. This study aimed to characterize the features of such injuries. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study using data from four tertiary emergency departments in Japan. We identified patients diagnosed with hip fracture including femoral neck fracture, trochanter fracture, or subtrochanteric fracture from May 12, 2014 to July 12, 2021. Among patients with hip fracture, we included those with fall-related hip fracture. We excluded patients ages <40 years old and whose fall was high energy onset, defined as fall from more than three steps or 1 m. RESULTS: Among 326 emergency departments patients diagnosed with fall-related hip fracture, 288 patients were eligible for the analysis. Seventeen patients (6%) had injuries in addition to hip fractures. The most frequent injury was upper limb injury (e.g., distal radial fracture; n = 5, 30%), followed by head injury (e.g., subdural hematoma; n = 4, 24%), chest injury (e.g., pneumothorax; n = 2, 12%), and trunk injury (vertebral compression fracture; n = 2, 12%). There were no significantly different clinical characteristics between patients with hip injuries and those without. CONCLUSION: A total of 6% of patients diagnosed with hip fracture had other fall-related injuries. The most frequent were upper limb injury and head injury. Our findings underscore the importance of whole-body assessment in patients with fall-related hip fracture in the emergency department.

    Background: Sepsis-induced muscle atrophy leads to prolonged physical dysfunction. Although the interaction of muscle atrophy and macrophage has been reported in sepsis, the role of neutrophils in muscle atrophy has not been thoroughly investigated. This study sought to investigate the long-term changes in muscle-localized neutrophils after sepsis induction and their possible role in sepsis. Methods: Sepsis was induced in seven-week-old male C57BL/6J mice 8-12 (cecal slurry [CS] model) via intraperitoneal injection of 1 mg/g cecal slurry. The percentage change in body weight and grip strength was evaluated. The tibialis anterior muscles were dissected for microscopic examination of the cross-sectional area of myofibers or Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis of immune cells. These changes were evaluated in the following conditions: (1) Longitudinal change until day 61, (2) CS concentration-dependent change on day 14 at the low (0.3 mg/g), middle (1.0 mg/g), and high (2.0 mg/g) concentrations, and (3) CS mice on day 14 treated with an anti-Ly6G antibody that depletes neutrophils. Results: Body weight and grip strength were significantly lower in the CS model until day 61 (body weight: 123.1% ± 1.8% vs. 130.3% ± 2.5%, p = 0.04; grip strength: 104.5% ± 3.8% vs. 119.3% ± 5.3%, p = 0.04). Likewise, cross-sectional muscle area gradually decreased until day 61 from the CS induction (895.6 [606.0-1304.9] μm2 vs. 718.8 [536.2-937.0] μm2, p < 0.01). The number of muscle-localized neutrophils increased from 2.3 ± 0.6 cell/mg on day 0 to 22.2 ± 13.0 cell/mg on day 14, and decreased thereafter. In terms of CS concentration-dependent change, cross-sectional area was smaller (484.4 ± 221.2 vs. 825.8 ± 436.2 μm2 [p < 0.001]) and grip strength was lower (71.4% ± 12.8% vs. 116.3% ± 7.4%, p = 0.01) in the CS High group compared with the control, with increased neutrophils (p = 0.03). Ly6G-depleted mice demonstrated significant increase of muscle cross-sectional area and grip strength compared with control mice (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Sepsis causes infiltration of neutrophils in muscles, leading to muscle atrophy and weakness. Depletion of neutrophils in muscle reverses sepsis-induced muscle atrophy and weakness. These results suggest that neutrophils may play a critical role in sepsis-induced muscle atrophy and weakness.

    OBJECTIVES: To investigate the impact of oral care on thirst perception and dry mouth assessments. RESEARCH DESIGN: Single-centre observational study. SETTING: Intensive care unit in a university hospital. MAIN OUTCOME: We assessed thirst perception and dry mouth in adult patients before and after oral care. Thirst perception was assessed using a numerical rating scale and dry mouth was assessed using an oral moisture checking device and the modified Revised Oral Assessment Guide including tongue, mucous membranes and saliva. RESULTS: Eighty-six patients were included. After oral care, thirst scores decreased by 1 (0 to 3, p < 0.01) and remained low only for one hour. Oral moisture was maintained at a normal level ≥ 27.0%, and mROAG was at a low level ≤ 4 before and after the oral care. The numerical rating score did not correlate with oral moisture (ρ = -0.01, p = 0.96) or the modified revised oral assessment guide (ρ = 0.09, p = 0.42). Among patients with thirst, 60 (70%) patients complained of thirst at the assessment timepoints, but only 17 (20%) patients complained independently. CONCLUSION: Thirst perception was dissociated from dry mouth before and after oral care. Thirst must be frequently assessed and treated.

    Intensive care unit survivors experience prolonged physical impairments, cognitive impairments, and mental health problems, commonly referred to as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Previous studies reported the prevalence, assessment, and prevention of PICS, including the ABCDEF bundle approach. Although the management of PICS has been advanced, the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) posed an additional challenge to PICS. The prevalence of PICS after COVID-19 extensively varied with 28-87% of cases pertaining to physical impairments, 20-57% pertaining to cognitive impairments, and 6-60% pertaining to mental health problems after 1-6 months after discharge. Each component of the ABCDEF bundle is not sufficiently provided from 16% to 52% owing to the highly transmissible nature of the virus. However, new data are emerging about analgesia, sedation, delirium care, nursing care, early mobilization, nutrition, and family support. In this review, we summarize the recent data on PICS and its new challenge in PICS after COVID-19 infection.

    BACKGROUND: Urinary titin N-fragment levels have been used to assess the catabolic state, and we used this biomarker to evaluate the catabolic state of infants. METHODS: We retrospectively measured urinary titin N-fragment levels of urinary samples. The primary outcome was its changes according to postmenstrual age. The secondary outcomes included differences between gestational age, longitudinal change after birth, influence on growth, and relationship with blood tests. RESULTS: This study included 219 patients with 414 measurements. Urinary titin N-fragment exponentially declined with postmenstrual age. These values were 12.5 (7.1-19.6), 8.1 (5.1-13.0), 12.8 (6.0-21.3), 26.4 (16.4-52.0), and 81.9 (63.3-106.4) pmol/mg creatinine in full, late, moderate, very, and extremely preterm infants, respectively (p < 0.01). After birth, urinary levels of titin N-fragment exponentially declined, and the maximum level within a week was associated with the time to return to birth weight in preterm infants (ρ = 0.39, p < 0.01). This was correlated with creatine kinase in full-term infants (ρ = 0.58, p < 0.01) and with blood urea nitrogen in preterm infants (ρ = 0.50, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The catabolic state was increased during the early course of the postmenstrual age and early preterm infants. IMPACT: Catabolic state in infants, especially in preterm infants, was expected to be increased, but no study has clearly verified this. In this retrospective study of 219 patients with 414 urinary titin measurements, the catabolic state was exponentially elevated during the early postmenstrual age. The use of the urinary titin N-fragment clarified catabolic state was prominently increased in very and extremely preterm infants.

    Ultrasound has become widely used as a means to measure the rectus femoris muscle in the acute and chronic phases of critical illness. Despite its noninvasiveness and accessibility, its accuracy highly depends on the skills of the technician. However, few ultrasound phantoms for the confirmation of its accuracy or to improve technical skills exist. In this study, the authors created a novel phantom model and used it for investigating the accuracy of measurements and for training. Study 1 investigated how various conditions affect ultrasound measurements such as thickness, cross-sectional area, and echogenicity. Study 2 investigated if the phantom can be used for the training of various health care providers in vitro and in vivo. Study 1 showed that thickness, cross-sectional area, and echogenicity were affected by probe compression strength, probe angle, phantom compression, and varying equipment. Study 2 in vitro showed that using the phantom for training improved the accuracy of the measurements taken within the phantom, and Study 2 in vivo showed the phantom training had a short-term effect on improving the measurement accuracy in a human volunteer. The new ultrasound phantom model revealed that various conditions affected ultrasound measurements, and phantom training improved the measurement accuracy.

    OBJECTIVES: Muscle mass at admission is important to survive stroke, and stroke-induced sarcopenia is a serious problem because of its poor prognosis. Muscle mass measurement and monitoring are essential for appropriate rehabilitation and nutrition management. However, few reviews are available about the muscle mass measurement and monitoring after stroke. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Several methods are used to assess skeletal muscle mass in stroke, such as computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, bioelectrical impedance analysis, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, biomarkers, and anthropometrics. We summarized the current methods and clinical applications in stroke. RESULTS: In stroke, a head CT is used to estimate muscle mass by measuring the temporal muscle. However, it can be conducted retrospectively due to radiation exposure. After stroke, limb muscle atrophy and diaphragm dysfunction are observed using ultrasound. However, ultrasound requires an understanding of the methods and skill. A bioelectrical impedance analysis can be used to assess muscle mass in patients after a stroke unless they have dynamic fluid changes. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is used for follow-up after hospital discharge. Urinary titin N-fragment and serum C-terminal agrin fragment reflect muscle atrophy after stroke. Anthropometrics may be useful with limited resources. CONCLUSIONS: We summarized the features of each measurement and proved the recent evidence to properly measure and monitor skeletal muscle mass after stroke.

    INTRODUCTION: Vibration therapy has been used as an additional approach in passive rehabilitation. Recently, it has been demonstrated to be feasible and safe for critically ill patients, whose muscle weakness and intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness are serious problems. However, the effectiveness of vibration therapy in this population is unclear. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This study will enrol 188 adult critically ill patients who require further ICU stay after they can achieve sitting at the edge of the bed or wheelchair. The sample size calculation is based on a 15% improvement of Functional Status Score for the ICU. They will be randomised to vibration therapy coupled with protocolised mobilisation or to protocolised mobilisation alone; outcomes will be compared between the two groups. Therapy will be administered using a low-frequency vibration device (5.6-13 Hz) for 15 min/day from when the patient first achieves a sitting position and onward until discharge from the ICU. Outcome assessments will be blinded to the intervention. Primary outcome will be measured using the Functional Status Score for the ICU during discharge. Secondary outcomes will be identified as follows: delirium, Medical Research Council Score, ICU-acquired weakness, the change of biceps brachii and rectus femoris muscle mass measured by ultrasound, ICU mobility scale and ventilator-free and ICU-free days (number of free days during 28 days after admission). For safety assessment, vital signs will be monitored during the intervention. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has been approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Tokushima University Hospital. Results will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: UMIN000039616.

    Titin is a giant protein that functions as a molecular spring in sarcomeres. Titin interconnects the contraction of actin-containing thin filaments and myosin-containing thick filaments. Titin breaks down to form urinary titin N-fragments, which are measurable in urine. Urinary titin N-fragment was originally reported to be a useful biomarker in the diagnosis of muscle dystrophy. Recently, the urinary titin N-fragment has been increasingly gaining attention as a novel biomarker of muscle atrophy and intensive care unit-acquired weakness in critically ill patients, in whom titin loss is a possible pathophysiology. Furthermore, several studies have reported that the urinary titin N-fragment also reflected muscle atrophy and weakness in patients with chronic illnesses. It may be used to predict the risk of post-intensive care syndrome or to monitor patients' condition after hospital discharge for better nutritional and rehabilitation management. We provide several tips on the use of this promising biomarker in post-intensive care syndrome.

    Background : Diaphragm dysfunction is a serious problem. However, a few management techniques exist for diaphragm dysfunction. Methods : Adult patients treated with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in the intensive care unit were included in this study. The diaphragm function was evaluated using ultrasound measurement of thickening fraction before and after HFNC liberation. Normal diaphragm contraction was defined as thickening fraction ≥ 15% without HFNC, whereas decreased or paradoxical diaphragm contractions were 0%-15% or < 0%, respectively. Results : Forty patients were enrolled, and 16 (40%) had normal diaphragm contraction, whereas 19 (48%) or 5 (13%) had decreased or paradoxical diaphragm contractions, respectively. Thickening fraction increased after HFNC liberation (27.0% ± 25.7% vs. 38.8% ± 34.5%,  p = 0.03 in HFNC vs. no HFNC) in patients without diaphragm dysfunction. In patients with decreased diaphragm contraction, thickening fraction did not change with or without HFNC (8.9% ± 11.7% vs. 6.7% ± 5.2%,  p = 0.35), whereas paradoxical contraction decreased with HFNC (1.0% ± 10.2% vs. -10.3% ± 2.7%,  p = 0.04) in patients with paradoxical diaphragm contraction. Conclusions : The work of breathing decreased with HFNC in patients without diaphragm dysfunction, but did not decrease in patients with decreased diaphragm contraction. Paradoxical diaphragm contraction decreased with HFNC. J. Med. Invest. 68 : 159-164, February, 2021.

    INTRODUCTION: Urinary titin is a biomarker of muscle atrophy, which is a serious complication after stroke. However, there are currently no clinical data regarding urinary titin in stroke patients. METHODS: Consecutive stroke patients admitted to the stroke care unit were included. Spot urine samples were collected immediately after admission, and on days 3, 5, and 7. The primary outcome was the trend of urinary titin in patients after acute stroke. The secondary outcomes included the association between the peak urinary titin level and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and the Barthel index (BI) upon hospital discharge. Multivariate analysis was adjusted for age, sex, NIHSS at admission, and the peak urinary titin to predict poor outcome (mRS 3-6). RESULTS: Forty-one patients were included (29 male; age, 68 ± 15 years), 29 had ischemic stroke, 8 had intracerebral hemorrhage, and 4 had subarachnoid hemorrhage. The levels of urinary titin on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 were 9.9 (4.7-21.1), 16.2 (8.6-22.0), 8.9 (4.8-15.2), and 8.7 (3.6-16.2) pmol/mg Cr, respectively. The peak urinary titin level was associated with the mRS score (r = 0.55, p < 0.01), the NIHSS score (r = 0.72, p < 0.01), and the BI (r = -0.59, p < 0.01) upon hospital discharge. In multivariate analysis, the peak urinary titin was associated with poor outcome (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Urinary titin rapidly increased after stroke and was associated with impaired functional outcomes at hospital discharge.

    BACKGROUND: Lower limb muscle atrophy is often observed in critically ill patients. Although upper limb muscles can undergo atrophy, it remains unclear how this atrophy is associated with clinical outcomes. We hypothesized that this atrophy is associated with mortality and impairments in physical function. METHODS: In this two-center prospective observational study, we included adult patients who were expected to require mechanical ventilation for > 48 h and remain in the intensive care unit (ICU) for > 5 days. We used ultrasound to evaluate the cross-sectional area of the biceps brachii on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 and upon ICU discharge along with assessment of physical functions. The primary outcome was the relationship between muscle atrophy ratio and in-hospital mortality on each measurement day, which was assessed using multivariate analysis. The secondary outcomes were the relationships between upper limb muscle atrophy and Medical Research Council (MRC) score, handgrip strength, ICU Mobility Scale (IMS) score, and Functional Status Score for the ICU (FSS-ICU). RESULTS: Sixty-four patients (43 males; aged 70 ± 13 years) were enrolled. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score was 27 (22-30), and in-hospital mortality occurred in 21 (33%) patients. The decreased cross-sectional area of the biceps brachii was not associated with in-hospital mortality on day 3 (p = 0.43) but was associated on days 5 (p = 0.01) and 7 (p < 0.01), which was confirmed after adjusting for sex, age, and APACHE II score. In 27 patients in whom physical functions were assessed, the decrease of the cross-sectional area of the biceps brachii was associated with MRC score (r = 0.47, p = 0.01), handgrip strength (r = 0.50, p = 0.01), and FSS-ICU (r = 0.56, p < 0.01), but not with IMS score (r = 0.35, p = 0.07) upon ICU discharge. CONCLUSIONS: Upper limb muscle atrophy was associated with in-hospital mortality and physical function impairments; thus, it is prudent to monitor it. (321 words) TRIAL REGISTRATION: UMIN 000031316 .

    OBJECTIVES: Electrical muscle stimulation is widely used to enhance lower limb mobilization. Although upper limb muscle atrophy is common in critically ill patients, electrical muscle stimulation application for the upper limbs has been rarely reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether electrical muscle stimulation prevents upper and lower limb muscle atrophy and improves physical function. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Two-center, mixed medical/surgical ICU. PATIENTS: Adult patients who were expected to be mechanically ventilated for greater than 48 hours and stay in the ICU for greater than 5 days. INTERVENTIONS: Forty-two patients were randomly assigned to the electrical muscle stimulation (n = 17) or control group (n = 19). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Primary outcomes were change in muscle thickness and cross-sectional area of the biceps brachii and rectus femoris from day 1 to 5. Secondary outcomes included occurrence of ICU-acquired weakness, ICU mobility scale, length of hospitalization, and amino acid levels. The change in biceps brachii muscle thickness was -1.9% versus -11.2% in the electrical muscle stimulation and control (p = 0.007) groups, and the change in cross-sectional area was -2.7% versus -10.0% (p = 0.03). The change in rectus femoris muscle thickness was -0.9% versus -14.7% (p = 0.003) and cross-sectional area was -1.7% versus -10.4% (p = 0.04). No significant difference was found in ICU-acquired weakness (13% vs 40%; p = 0.20) and ICU mobility scale (3 vs 2; p = 0.42) between the groups. The length of hospitalization was shorter in the electrical muscle stimulation group (23 d [19-34 d] vs 40 d [26-64 d]) (p = 0.04). On day 3, the change in the branched-chain amino acid level was lower in the electrical muscle stimulation group (40.5% vs 71.5%; p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: In critically ill patients, electrical muscle stimulation prevented upper and lower limb muscle atrophy and attenuated proteolysis and decreased the length of hospitalization.

    Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) exhibit prominent muscle atrophy and weakness. Although these patients often require deep sedation to perform lung-protective ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can keep patients awake and make mobilization possible. A 60-year-old man was treated with ECMO due to ARDS. A multidisciplinary team conducted mobilization with standing on day 3. During intensive care unit (ICU) stay, catabolism was ongoing (urinary titin: 24.1-38.4 pmol/mg Cr), but the rectus femoris muscle, measured by ultrasound, moderately decreased by 5.3%, 10.8%, and 13.0% on days 3, 5, and 7, respectively, with maintained Medical Research Council score of 58-60. Diaphragm thickness remained unchanged. On day 5, he was separated from ECMO. After ambulation training, he was discharged from ICU on day 7. He returned home without prominent physical dysfunction. Our experience indicates early initiation of awake ECMO can accompany mobilization and attenuate muscle atrophy and weakness in ARDS.

    OBJECTIVES: Although skeletal muscle atrophy is common in critically ill patients, biomarkers associated with muscle atrophy have not been identified reliably. Titin is a spring-like protein found in muscles and has become a measurable biomarker for muscle breakdown. We hypothesized that urinary titin is useful for monitoring muscle atrophy in critically ill patients. Therefore, we investigated urinary titin level and its association with muscle atrophy in critically ill patients. DESIGN: Two-center, prospective observational study. SETTING: Mixed medical/surgical ICU in Japan. PATIENTS: Nonsurgical adult patients who were expected to remain in ICU for greater than 5 days. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Urine samples were collected on days 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 of ICU admission. To assess muscle atrophy, rectus femoris cross-sectional area and diaphragm thickness were measured with ultrasound on days 1, 3, 5, and 7. Secondary outcomes included its relationship with ICU-acquired weakness, ICU Mobility Scale, and ICU mortality. Fifty-six patients and 232 urinary titin measurements were included. Urinary titin (normal range: 1-3 pmol/mg creatinine) was 27.9 (16.8-59.6), 47.6 (23.5-82.4), 46.6 (24.4-97.6), 38.4 (23.6-83.0), and 49.3 (27.4-92.6) pmol/mg creatinine on days 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7, respectively. Cumulative urinary titin level was significantly associated with rectus femoris muscle atrophy on days 3-7 (p ≤ 0.03), although urinary titin level was not associated with change in diaphragm thickness (p = 0.31-0.45). Furthermore, cumulative urinary titin level was associated with occurrence of ICU-acquired weakness (p = 0.01) and ICU mortality (p = 0.02) but not with ICU Mobility Scale (p = 0.18). CONCLUSIONS: In nonsurgical critically ill patients, urinary titin level increased 10-30 times compared with the normal level. The increased urinary titin level was associated with lower limb muscle atrophy, occurrence of ICU-acquired weakness, and ICU mortality.

    Background : Since diaphragm passivity induces oxidative stress that leads to rapid atrophy of diaphragm, we investigated the effect of controlled ventilation on diaphragm thickness during assist-control ventilation (ACV). Methods : Previously, we measured end-expiratory diaphragm thickness (Tdiee) of patients mechanically ventilated for more than 48 hours on days 1, 3, 5 and 7 after the start of ventilation. We retrospectively investigated the proportion of controlled ventilation during the initial 48-hour ACV (CV48%). Patients were classified according to CV48% : Low group, less than 25% ; High group, higher than 25%. Results : Of 56 patients under pressure-control ACV, Tdiee increased more than 10% in 6 patients (11%), unchanged in 8 patients (14%) and decreased more than 10% in 42 patients (75%). During the first week of ventilation, Tdiee decreased in both groups : Low (difference, -7.4% ; 95% confidence interval [CI], -10.1% to -4.6% ; p < 0.001) and High group (difference, -5.2% ; 95% CI, -8.5% to -2.0% ; p = 0.049). Maximum Tdiee variation from baseline did not differ between Low (-15.8% ; interquartile range [IQR], -22.3 to -1.5) and High group (-16.7% ; IQR, -22.6 to -11.1, p = 0.676). Conclusions : During ACV, maximum variation in Tdiee was not associated with proportion of controlled ventilation higher than 25%. J. Med. Invest. 67 : 332-337, August, 2020.

    Critically ill patients exhibit prominent muscle atrophy, which occurs rapidly after ICU admission and leads to poor clinical outcomes. The extent of atrophy differs among muscles as follows: upper limb: 0.7%-2.4% per day, lower limb: 1.2%-3.0% per day, and diaphragm 1.1%-10.9% per day. This atrophy is caused by numerous risk factors such as inflammation, immobilization, nutrition, hyperglycemia, medication, and mechanical ventilation. Muscle atrophy should be monitored noninvasively by ultrasound at the bedside. Ultrasound can assess muscle mass in most patients, although physical assessment is limited to almost half of all critically ill patients due to impaired consciousness. Important strategies to prevent muscle atrophy are physical therapy and electrical muscular stimulation. Electrical muscular stimulation is especially effective for patients with limited physical therapy. Regarding diaphragm atrophy, mechanical ventilation should be adjusted to maintain spontaneous breathing and titrate inspiratory pressure. However, the sufficient timing and amount of nutritional intervention remain unclear. Further investigation is necessary to prevent muscle atrophy and improve long-term outcomes. J. Med. Invest. 67 : 1-10, February, 2020.

    Background: Diaphragm atrophy is observed in mechanically ventilated patients. However, the atrophy is not investigated in other respiratory muscles. Therefore, we conducted a two-center prospective observational study to evaluate changes in diaphragm and intercostal muscle thickness in mechanically ventilated patients. Methods: Consecutive adult patients who were expected to be mechanically ventilated longer than 48 h in the ICU were enrolled. Diaphragm and intercostal muscle thickness were measured on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 with ultrasonography. The primary outcome was the direction of change in muscle thickness, and the secondary outcomes were the relationship of changes in muscle thickness with patient characteristics. Results: Eighty patients (54 males and 26 females; mean age, 68 ± 14 years) were enrolled. Diaphragm muscle thickness decreased, increased, and remained unchanged in 50 (63%), 15 (19%), and 15 (19%) patients, respectively. Intercostal muscle thickness decreased, increased, and remained unchanged in 48 (60%), 15 (19%), and 17 (21%) patients, respectively. Decreased diaphragm or intercostal muscle thickness was associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation (median difference (MD), 3 days; 95% CI (confidence interval), 1-7 and MD, 3 days; 95% CI, 1-7, respectively) and length of ICU stay (MD, 3 days; 95% CI, 1-7 and MD, 3 days; 95% CI, 1-7, respectively) compared with the unchanged group. After adjusting for sex, age, and APACHE II score, they were still associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation (hazard ratio (HR), 4.19; 95% CI, 2.14-7.93 and HR, 2.87; 95% CI, 1.53-5.21, respectively) and length of ICU stay (HR, 3.44; 95% CI, 1.77-6.45 and HR, 2.58; 95% CI, 1.39-4.63, respectively) compared with the unchanged group. Conclusions: Decreased diaphragm and intercostal muscle thickness were frequently seen in patients under mechanical ventilation. They were associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay. Trial registration: UMIN000031316. Registered on 15 February 2018.

    Background: Skeletal muscle atrophy commonly occurs in critically ill patients, and decreased muscle mass is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Muscle mass can be assessed using various tools, including ultrasound and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). However, the effectiveness of muscle mass monitoring is unclear in critically ill patients. This study was conducted to compare ultrasound and BIA for the monitoring of muscle mass in critically ill patients. Methods: We recruited adult patients who were expected to undergo mechanical ventilation for > 48 h and to remain in the intensive care unit (ICU) for > 5 days. On days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10, muscle mass was evaluated using an ultrasound and two BIA devices (Bioscan: Malton International, England; Physion: Nippon Shooter, Japan). The influence of fluid balance was also evaluated between each measurement day. Results: We analyzed 93 images in 21 patients. The age of the patients was 69 (interquartile range, IQR, 59-74) years, with 16 men and 5 women. The length of ICU stay was 11 days (IQR, 9-25 days). The muscle mass, monitored by ultrasound, decreased progressively by 9.2% (95% confidence interval (CI), 5.9-12.5%), 12.7% (95% CI, 9.3-16.1%), 18.2% (95% CI, 14.7-21.6%), and 21.8% (95% CI, 17.9-25.7%) on days 3, 5, 7, and 10 (p <  0.01), respectively, with no influence of fluid balance (r = 0.04, p = 0.74). The muscle mass did not decrease significantly in both the BIA devices (Bioscan, p = 0.14; Physion, p = 0.60), and an influence of fluid balance was observed (Bioscan, r = 0.37, p <  0.01; Physion, r = 0.51, p <  0.01). The muscle mass assessment at one point between ultrasound and BIA was moderately correlated (Bioscan, r = 0.51, p <  0.01; Physion, r = 0.37, p <  0.01), but the change of muscle mass in the same patient did not correlate between these two devices (Bioscan, r = - 0.05, p = 0.69; Physion, r = 0.23, p = 0.07). Conclusions: Ultrasound is suitable for sequential monitoring of muscle atrophy in critically ill patients. Monitoring by BIA should be carefully interpreted owing to the influence of fluid change. Trial registration: UMIN000031316. Retrospectively registered on 15 February 2018.

    Reverse triggering is respiratory entrainment triggered by the ventilator especially seen among heavily sedated patients. We confirmed reverse triggering induced by auto-triggering in lightly sedated patient through an esophageal pressure monitoring. The reverse triggering frequently caused breath stacking with increased tidal volume. Physicians should be aware, even at an optimal level of sedation, that reverse triggering can develop, possibly caused by auto-triggering.

    集中治療室での神経筋電気刺激療法の介入と長期予後調査の研究は順調に進行しており、神経筋電気刺激療法は安全に集中治療室で使用できている。長期的な身体機能調査のためにICUに入室した患者に予め退院数ヵ月後に身体機能の状態を調査する旨を説明し、携帯電話のショートメッセージサービスにアンケートを送りオンラインで状態を記入して頂いている。神経筋電気刺激療法は集中治療室での筋萎縮予防、身体機能改善、代謝機能改善に寄与することが明らかとなってきており、長期的な影響を引き続き調べていく。筋萎縮予防の評価としては超音波を用いた筋肉量評価が有効であり、理学療法士などのスタッフなどと超音波を用いた筋肉量評価の方法を共有して、上腕と下肢の筋肉の適切な評価に努めている。また尿中のタイチンという物質が筋肉の崩壊を評価するのに有効であり尿中のタイチンが神経筋電気刺激療法でどのようになるかなども調べている。代謝機能としてはメタボローム解析を用いて血液中のアミノ酸がどのように変化するかを引き続き調べている。身体機能評価としては理学療法士と協力してICU退室時に身体機能がどのようになるか、CPAx (The Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool) などの身体機能評価のスケールを用いて評価している。神戸大学のデータを調査した研究では70%、60%、35%の患者が退院3ヵ月、6ヵ月、1年後に集中治療症候群というICU退室後の機能障害に至っていることを論文で報告した（PMID: 36142904）。さらにメタアナリシスなどの方法も用いて神経筋電気刺激療法が重症患者に有効であるかの検討も行っている。
