Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is one of the most frequent causes of neuromuscular dysfunction in intensive care medicine. To date no evidence-based recommendations exist for the diagnostics, monitoring or further intensive care treatment.
To evaluate the current clinical practice of diagnostics, monitoring and treatment strategies of ICU-AW on intensive care units in Germany.
We conducted an online survey with a self-designed questionnaire and invited 448 members of the Scientific Working Group for Intensive Care Medicine (WAKI) and the Scientific Working Group for Neuroanesthesia (WAKNA) to participate.
A total of 68/448 (15.2%) questionnaires were analyzed. Of the participants 13.4% (9/67) stated that a structured diagnostic approach for the detection of ICU-AW is applied in their units. The clinical examination was the preferred method for screening (60/68; 88.2%) and follow-up (57/65; 87.7%). Scores, such as the Medical Research Council sum score (MRC-SS) seem to be less important for the screening (7/68; 10.3%) and follow-up assessment (7/65; 10.8%). Mobilization with physiotherapy (45/68; 66.2%) is the most common strategy applied to treat ICU-AW. A lack of physiotherapists (64/68; 94.1%) and intensive care nurses (57/68; 83.8%) are the main deficits identified in the care of patients with ICU-AW. The majority of the study participants (62/68; 91.2%) would welcome evidence-based guidelines for diagnostics, monitoring and treatment approaches in ICU-AW.
To date comprehensive recommendations for diagnostics, monitoring, prevention and treatment of ICU-AW are still lacking in German intensive care units. The introduction of new diagnostic approaches could help to detect ICU-AW and therefore to initiate earlier preventive and treatment approaches.
重症监护病房获得性肌无力(ICU-AW)是重症监护医学中神经肌肉功能障碍最常见的病因之一。迄今为止,对于其诊断、监测或进一步的重症监护治疗尚无循证推荐。
评估德国重症监护病房对ICU-AW的诊断、监测及治疗策略的当前临床实践。
我们使用自行设计的问卷进行了一项在线调查,并邀请了重症监护医学科学工作组(WAKI)和神经麻醉科学工作组(WAKNA)的448名成员参与。
共分析了68/448份(15.2%)问卷。13.4%(9/67)的参与者表示其所在科室采用了用于检测ICU-AW的结构化诊断方法。临床检查是筛查(60/68;88.2%)和随访(57/65;87.7%)的首选方法。医学研究委员会总评分(MRC-SS)等评分对于筛查(7/68;10.3%)和随访评估(7/65;10.8%)似乎不太重要。物理治疗辅助活动(45/68;66.2%)是治疗ICU-AW最常用的策略。缺乏物理治疗师(64/68;94.1%)和重症监护护士(57/68;83.8%)是在ICU-AW患者护理中发现的主要不足。大多数研究参与者(62/68;91.2%)欢迎有关ICU-AW诊断、监测和治疗方法的循证指南。
迄今为止,德国重症监护病房仍缺乏针对ICU-AW诊断、监测、预防和治疗的全面推荐。引入新的诊断方法有助于检测ICU-AW,从而更早地启动预防和治疗措施。
