Neuromuscular dysfunction is prevalent in critically ill patients, is associated with worse short-term outcomes, and is a determinant of long-term disability in intensive care unit survivors. Diagnosis is made with the help of clinical, electrophysiological, and morphological observations; however, the lack of a consistent nomenclature remains a barrier to research. We propose a simple framework for diagnosing and classifying neuromuscular disorders acquired in critical illness.
神经肌肉功能障碍在危重症患者中很常见,与更差的短期预后相关,并且是重症监护病房幸存者长期残疾的决定因素。诊断是通过临床、电生理学和形态学观察来做出的;然而,缺乏一致的命名法仍然是研究的障碍。我们提出了一个用于诊断和分类危重病中获得性神经肌肉疾病的简单框架。
