Paresis Acquired in the Intensive Care UnitA Prospective Multicenter Study

Structured PICO

Are corticosteroids associated with the development of Intensive Care Unit Acquired Paresis (ICUAP) in critically ill patients?

Population

Patients recovering from critical illness in the intensive care unit

Intervention

Corticosteroids (assessed as a risk factor)

Outcome

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.

Abstract

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.
