    ICU-acquired weakness

    Critically ill patients often acquire neuropathy and/or myopathy labeled ICU-acquired weakness. The current insights into incidence, pathophysiology, diagnostic tools, risk factors, short- and long-term consequences and management of ICU-acquired

  3. Open Access 01-12-2020 | ICU-Acquired Weakness | OriginalPaper

    ICU-acquired weakness, diaphragm dysfunction and long-term outcomes of critically ill patients

    Critically ill patients are likely to develop respiratory and limb muscle weakness [ 1 ]. It has been clearly established that intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired limb muscle weakness is a frequent condition, associated with poor prognosis [ 2 – 6 …

  4. Open Access 01-12-2020 | Cough | OriginalPaper

    Role of ICU-acquired weakness on extubation outcome among patients at high risk of reintubation

    The decision of extubation is a critical moment in the ICU because mortality is particularly high in case of extubation failure leading to reintubation [ 1 , 2 ]. The overall rate of reintubation after planned extubation is around 10% but may …

    ICU-acquired weakness: should medical sovereignty belong to any specialist?

    ICU-acquired weakness (ICUAW), including critical illness polyneuropathy, critical illness myopathy, and critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy, is a frequent disabling disorder in ICU subjects. Research has predominantly been performed by …

    Impact of ICU-acquired weakness on post-ICU physical functioning: a follow-up study

    After surviving critical illness, many patients suffer from its long-term consequences, which may consist of physical impairments, cognitive dysfunction, and mental health problems [ 1 ]. The relevance of physical impairments was described in acute …

    Diaphragmatic dysfunction in patients with ICU-acquired weakness and its impact on extubation failure

    Intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a complication observed in critically ill patients that combines myopathy and neuropathy [ 1 – 3 ]. Its incidence varies but may rise up to 100 % in patients with multiorgan failure [ 4 , 5 ].

  10. Open Access 01-12-2015 | Abstract

    Increased early systemic inflammation in patients with ICU-acquired weakness

    Inflammation may be important in the pathogenesis of ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) since SIRS, sepsis and multiple organ failure are the main risk factors. Local inflammation has been found in muscle and nerve tissue of patients with ICU-AW, but …

    Winning the war against ICU-acquired weakness: new innovations in nutrition and exercise physiology

    Over the last 10 years we have significantly reduced hospital mortality from sepsis and critical illness. However, the evidence reveals that over the same period we have tripled the number of patients being sent to rehabilitation settings.

    Mitochondrial function in skeletal muscle of patients with protracted critical illness and ICU-acquired weakness

    Generalized inflammation and multi-organ failure in the acute phase of critical illness are accompanied by impairment of mitochondrial morphology [ 1 ] and function of skeletal muscle [ 2 – 5 ] and other organs [ 6 , 7 ]. The extent of …

  14. Open Access 01-02-2014 | Abstract

    Early electrophysiological diagnosis of ICU-acquired weakness

    An early diagnosis of ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is difficult because disorders of consciousness preclude strength assessment [ 1 ]. Electrophysiological (EMG) studies may be an alternative approach [ 2 ]. In this study we investigated …

  15. 01-08-2010 | Letter

    The role of inflammation in ICU-acquired weakness

    A pilot observational study by Weber-Carstens and colleagues contributes to a mechanistic explanation of the puzzling and complex phenomena of ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW). The authors suggest systemic, inflammatory-mediated pathology is the …

  16. Open Access 01-04-2013 | Abstract

    Withholding parenteral nutrition for 1 week reduces ICU-acquired weakness

    ICU-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a frequent and important complication of critical illness [ 1 ]. A large randomized controlled trial (EPaNIC: clinicaltrials.gov: NCT00512122) [ 2 ] showed that withholding parenteral nutrition during the first week …

    Autonomic dysfunction in ICU-acquired weakness: a prospective observational pilot study

    Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a frequent and important neurological complication of critical illness [ 1 ]. In ICU-AW, critically ill patients develop severe weakness and sensory symptoms because of dysfunction of peripheral …

    ICU-acquired weakness: what is preventing its rehabilitation in critically ill patients?

    Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) has been recognized as an important and persistent complication in survivors of critical illness. The absence of a consistent nomenclature and diagnostic criteria for ICUAW has made research in this …
