Early identification of patients at high risk of prolonged mechanical ventilation is important in critical care. Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and function, has been reported to be associated with extended mechanical ventilation and prolonged ICU stay. Although ultrasound is noninvasive and widely used in critical care, there is no standard method of using it to assess sarcopenia. ⋯ The BMI-RA thickness ratio is related to the outcomes of patients transferred to ICU after major abdominal surgery. Measuring the thickness of rectus abdominis by ultrasound is well tolerated and easy to perform in surgical ICU. Larger prospective studies are required to confirm current findings.
