ICU-acquired Weakness, Risk factors, Clinical presentation, Diagnosis and treatmentAbstract
Intensive Care Unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) refers to generalized muscle weakness in ICU patients due to acute illness or its treatment, which cannot be explained by other causes. Given the variability in baseline conditions among ICU patients, the risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of ICU-AW warrant further investigation. This article reviews the latest advancements in the diagnosis and management of ICU-AW, analyzing existing risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment and prevention strategies, with the aim of improving the clinical outcomes of ICU patients.
