Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Observational cohort

Observational cohort - Ultrasound measurement of quadriceps muscle size and echogenicity will be obtained at baseline (within 48 hours of ECMO commencement), 10 days and 20 days after baseline measurement.
Measures of muscle strength and highest mobility level will be obtained at day 10 and day 20 after baseline measurement in order to determine the relationship between these volitional measures and the ultrasound parameters.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Adult patients (=18 years)

- Requiring ECMO for management of severe cardiac or respiratory failure

- Likely to spend > 24 hours on ECMO
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Presence of:

- Any connective tissue disorders (e.g., Marfan's syndrome)

- A proven or suspected acute primary brain process that is likely to result in global
impairment of conscious level or cognition, such as traumatic brain injury,
intracranial haemorrhage, stroke, or hypoxic brain injury after cardiac arrest or
asphyxiation

- Any neuromuscular conditions (e.g., multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, spinal
cord injury, Guillain-Barre syndrome)

- Any current cancer or chemotherapy

- A cognitive impairment prior to the acute illness that is associated with admission to
ICU that would impair capacity to follow verbal instructions Any current acute
musculoskeletal injuries of hip, knee, and ankle

- A pre-existing mobility impairment where the patient is unable to walk without
assistance prior to the acute illness that is associated with admission to ICU (use of
a walking stick or frame is not an exclusion)

- A language barrier to patient comprehension, or where death is deemed imminent and
inevitable

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to describe the changes in quadriceps muscle size and quality
over the first 10 days on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) using ultrasound
imaging. This study will also examine the relationship between those changes and muscle
strength and level of physical function at day 10 and day 20 after ECMO commencement.
