Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Among the organ dysfunctions associated with sepsis, striated skeletal muscle damage is frequent and possibly severe. The literature refers to this as sepsis-induced myopathy, and describes three main mechanisms: mitochondrial dysfunction, exacerbated proteolysis and altered muscle membrane excitability.
Of all the striated skeletal muscles that can be affected, the diaphragm and the muscles of the thoracic and abdominal wall play a major role in breathing. The diaphragm remains the main muscle involved in breathing. Its physiology is twofold. Firstly, through its contraction, the diaphragm is responsible for the lateral movement of the lower ribs, thus increasing the transverse diameter of the thorax. This first action is commonly referred to as "insertional". At the same time, lowering the phrenic center of the diaphragm increases abdominal pressure. Its distinctive upwardly convex domed appearance means that it is intimately in contact with both the chest wall and the abdominal cavity. This particular area of contact is called the apposition zone. It is on this zone, under the action of the abdominal compartment, that positive pressure also generates an outward thrust from the medial face of the lower ribs, a second action commonly referred to as "appositional".
A number of studies, including that carried out by our team (US\_DIAMONDS, NCT 02474797), have identified a high prevalence of diaphragmatic damage in patients with sepsis or septic shock. This can be as high as 60%. This diaphragmatic dysfunction would then be associated with a higher mortality rate in hospital and at D90 of discharge.
The clinical evolution of post-resuscitation patients remains a little-studied subject. However, patients may present muscle dysfunctions in the longer term after a stay in intensive care. In our study, we demonstrated that less than half of patients recovered from diaphragmatic dysfunction on discharge from the critical care unit. In addition, Borges RC et al. found a significant decrease in the cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris at discharge, compared with the same measurement taken at D+2 of admission to the critical care unit.
Finally, the impact of muscle dysfunction on dyspnoea during sepsis and after its resolution is uncertain. Similarly, the impact of muscle dysfunction and dyspnoea on quality of life is unknown. Sepsis is associated with muscle dysfunction of multiple mechanisms. The aim of this study is to assess the immediate and longer-term impact of muscle dysfunction on muscle, dyspnea and quality of life in patients with abdominal sepsis ("Abdominal sepsis" group) and patients with extra-abdominal sepsis ("Extra-abdominal" group). Depending on the location of sepsis, this study will enable us to assess and potentially confirm the preferential effect of abdominal sepsis on diaphragm function.

Study Groups

Ultrasound measurement of the diaphragm and intercostals
The specific research procedures correspond to the addition of :
* Two additional ultrasound examinations, i.e. at discharge from intensive care and 3 months after hospital discharge: non-invasive examination (duration 20 minutes). Ultrasound is a risk-free, painless procedure involving the placement of an ultrasound probe on the body part under investigation, without the need for a radius or puncture.
* Questionnaires to assess quality of life (SF-36) and functional impact (LCADL) of dyspnea, carried out at discharge from hospital and at 3 months (duration 15 minutes).
