Abstrakt | In the field of critical neurology, several acquired disorders have been described that result in intensive care weakness. The most common are an acquired myopathy due to the use of corticosteroids and neuromuscular blocking agents (CIM) or acute quadriplegic myopathy and a debilitating axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy (CIP): it is difficult on the bedside to make an appropriate diagnosis for which an accurate medical history, neurophysiological studies and a muscle biopsy is often needed. In intensive care unit, electrodiagnostic tests are difficult to perform; therefore a clinician should pursue a muscle biopsy. Diagnostic algorithm remains a clinical decision, but in order to determine causes and treatments of these conditions, a muscle biopsy is often needed and affects management. | |
