Critical illness myopathy

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2012
To describe the incidence, major risk factors, and the clinical, electrophysiological, and histological features of critical illness myopathy (CIM). Major pathogenetic mechanisms and long-term consequences of CIM are also reviewed.CIM is frequently associated with critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP), and may have a relevant impact on patients ...

Critical illness polyneuropathy

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2002
Critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) is a syndrome that was first extensively described in the early 1980s, mainly in patients with failure to wean from mechanical ventilation. The syndrome is further characterized by limb muscle weakness, usually more pronounced distally than proximally, and is often accompanied by atrophy.

Critical Illness Neuromyopathy

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2008
Critical illness myopathy, neuropathy, and neuromyopathy are frequently encountered in the intensive care unit, particularly in the setting of sepsis and the systemic inflammatory response syndrome. A multidisciplinary approach is important to optimize management and minimize debility associated with these neuromuscular disorders.

Exosomes in Critical Illness

Critical Care Medicine, 2017
Objective: Exosomes are small, cell-released vesicles (40–100 nm in size) with the potential to transfer proteins, lipids, small RNAs, messenger RNAs, or DNA between cells via interstitial fluids. Due to their role in tissue homeostasis, exosomes have emerged as a new type of therapeutic and diagnostic (theranostic) tool in the

Chronic Critical Illness

New England Journal of Medicine, 2014
Early in my intern year, I admitted an 80-year-old man with pneumonia to the intensive care unit (ICU). He had hypotension and was struggling to breathe, and my senior resident and I told his family that it was touch and go. Their response: Do everything. He had repaired cars for a living, and he was a tough guy, a fighter.

Critically ill-Polyneuropathie

Fortschritte der Neurologie · Psychiatrie, 1997
"Critically ill" polyneuropathy occurs in patients with artificial respiration. It is more frequent in men than in women. The most frequent underlying diseases, in the course of which CIP was found, were pneumonias, traumas and major surgery. In most cases sepsis and/or multiple organ dysfunction syndrome can be observed.

Capnography During Critical Illness

Chest, 2016
Capnography has made steady inroads in the ICU and is increasingly used for all patients who are mechanically ventilated. There is growing recognition that capnography is rich in information about lung and circulatory physiology and provides insight into many diseases and treatments.

Critical Illness Neuromuscular Syndromes

Critical Care Clinics, 2006
Critical illness neuromyopathy (CINM) is the most common peripheral neuromuscular disorder encountered in the ICU. Bilateral diffuse weakness predominant in the proximal part of the limbs after improvement of the acute phase of the critical illness is highly suggestive of CINM.
