25 Two studies have reported a significant association between the presence and duration of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and ICUAW in the first week of ICU.26, 27 Patients diagnosed with sepsis have consistently been identified as having long-term functional disability and should be ...
Consequently, it is estimated that over 75,000 patients in the United States and up to 1 million people worldwide may develop a generalized frailty syndrome referred to as ICUAW [5]. Patients with ICUAW experience severe weakness in their extremities and often struggle to be weaned off the ...
Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome show a particularly high incidence for ICU-acquired weakness [32]. 2 Sepsis-induced muscle wasting and ICUAW: an imbalance in protein metabolism William Osler first commented on the “rapid loss of flesh” that occurs with severe sepsis in 1892 [...
It confirms that, rather than the Swan, Franceschetti or Bielschowsky types of comitant deviation, decompensation of a pre-existing phoria or monofixation syndrome is the most common cause of this presentation. Prescription of the full hypermetropic error found at cycloplegic refraction is essential...

However, propofol is also known to cause low-grade myotoxicity, which can lead to propofol infusion syndrome, involving rhabdomyolysis, which may become lethal in both children and adults [40]. In experimental studies, we have previously shown an increase in pathological spontaneous EMG activity ...
Based on clinical criteria, this syndrome is termed intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW), and the diagnosis is primarily made by manual muscle strength testing using the Medical Research Council Sum Score (MRC-SS), whereby an MRC-SS < 48 defines ICUAW [3]. Currently, the clinical ...
