Neurologic complications resulting from critical illness and intensive care unit therapies are common, but frequently unrecognized because these patients are often intubated, sedated, and, occasionally, receiving neuromuscular blocking agents. Neurologic complications are associated with an increased intensive care unit mortality. This article discusses central nervous system complications that are secondary to critical illness or to therapeutic interventions in the critically ill patient.
危重病和重症监护病房治疗导致的神经系统并发症很常见,但常常未被识别,因为这些患者通常已插管、使用了镇静剂,偶尔还接受神经肌肉阻滞剂治疗。神经系统并发症与重症监护病房死亡率增加相关。本文讨论了继发于危重病或危重症患者治疗干预的中枢神经系统并发症。
