Introduction
We sought to determine the specificity of compound muscle action potential (CMAP) durations and amplitudes in a large critical illness neuromyopathy (CINM) cohort relative to controls with other neuromuscular conditions.
Methods
Fifty‐eight patients with CINM who had been seen over a 17‐year period were retrospectively studied. Electrodiagnostic findings of the CINM cohort were compared...
Introduction
Sepsis‐induced myopathy and critical illness myopathy are common causes of muscle weakness in intensive care patients. This study investigated the effect of different mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) levels on muscle membrane properties following experimental sepsis.
Methods
Sepsis was induced with fecal peritonitis in 12 of 18 anesthetized and mechanically ventilated pigs. Seven...
Introduction
Since the late 1980s, critical illness myopathy (CIM) and critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) have been increasingly recognized in the intensive care unit (ICU). We explored whether these causes of ICU weakness were now more likely to lead to electrodiagnostic studies (EDX) at our institution than they were 19–20 years earlier.
Methods
We reviewed 100 consecutive ICU patients who...
