IRIS Institutional Research Information System - OPENBS Open Archive UniBS
il nuovo catalogo dedicato alla raccolta e alla disseminazione della produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di
Brescia, denominato OPENBS. E' possibile cercare pubblicazioni in OPENBS:
- per parola chiave, utilizzando la barra di ricerca situata in alto
- per filtro di ricerca (Autore, Titolo, Riviste), utilizzando il pulsante Sfoglia
- specificando criteri di ricerca con possibilità di aggiungere gradualmente più filtri (Autore, Data, Tipologia,..) che
perfezionino i risultati, utilizzando la finestra Ricerca - per elemento di filtro di ricerca (e.g. per un elemento di Tipologia: contributo su rivista) nella sezione Scopri
EnglishCritically ill patients may suffer from acute neuropathy or myopathy causing muscle weakness and paralysis. The terminology regarding these neuromuscular alterations is confusing and terms such as critical illness polyneuropathy, critical illness myopathy, intensive care unit weakness or paralysis are often used interchangeably. Electrophysiological investigations of peripheral nerves and muscles are important to define the nature of the pathological process, to achieve a differential diagnosis and to predict long-term prognosis. Measurement of muscle strength using the Medical Research Council score or handgrip dynamometry is important to define the severity of muscle strength impairment and to predict short-term morbidity and hospital mortality. Intensive insulin treatment may reduce the severity of the syndrome; however, its safety is questioned. Early physical rehabilitation and occupational therapy associated with interruption of sedation may result in better outcomes.

| Abstract: | Critically ill patients may suffer from acute neuropathy or myopathy causing muscle weakness and paralysis. The terminology regarding these neuromuscular alterations is confusing and terms such as critical illness polyneuropathy, critical illness myopathy, intensive care unit weakness or paralysis are often used interchangeably. Electrophysiological investigations of peripheral nerves and muscles are important to define the nature of the pathological process, to achieve a differential diagnosis and to predict long-term prognosis. Measurement of muscle strength using the Medical Research Council score or handgrip dynamometry is important to define the severity of muscle strength impairment and to predict short-term morbidity and hospital mortality. Intensive insulin treatment may reduce the severity of the syndrome; however, its safety is questioned. Early physical rehabilitation and occupational therapy associated with interruption of sedation may result in better outcomes. |
