Development of Intensive Care Unit Acquired Paresis (ICUAP) and duration of mechanical ventilation
Corticosteroids may play an important role in the development of Intensive Care Unit Acquired Paresis, which is associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation.
Identified using simple bedside clinical criteria, ICUAP was frequent during recovery from critical illness and was associated with a prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation. Our findings suggest an important role of corticosteroids in the development of ICUAP.
