Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In all patients, the thickness of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), trapezius muscle (TM), and quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle will be measured. A measurement point is in the middle of each muscle. The diameter of each muscle will be measured three times, and the average of the three measurements will be calculated.
In each patient hours of mechanical ventilation, and total time in the ICU will be recorded. Patients' comorbidities, ie. hypertension, cardiac diseases, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders, history of stroke, disabilities, as well as procedures done will be registered.
A Pearson's or Spearman's correlation will be used to calculate connections between specific parameters.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
ICU patients without an with chronic respiratory diseases
The group will consist of \>50 patients admitted to the intensive care unit, of which at least 20 with chronic respiratory diseases. Patients of both sexes, patients with and without chronic respiratory diseases, and also patients requiring mechanical ventilation were included and their demographic characteristics and outcomes registered. All patients will sign an informed consent form before inclusion in the prospective observational study.
Mindray TE7 ultrasound machine
The study was performed using a Mindray TE7 ultrasound machine with the depth of the linear probe at 70 mm and gain of 90 dB; settings remained unchanged during the study. Measurements of the right m. sternocleidomastoideus, the right m. trapezius, and the right upper leg were taken, with the final value being the average of three measurements for each. The probe was set at the musculoskeletal ultrasound setting.
