Abstract

Diseases of the peripheral nervous system create an additional diagnostic conundrum within the intensive care setting. Causes are vast, presentations are myriad, and symptoms are often ill-defined or misidentified. Care benefits from a multidisciplinary approach including a neuromuscular specialist, rehabilitation services, and a specialty pharmacist in addition to the neurocritical care team. In general, survivors achieve a good functional recovery relative to their preintensive care unit baseline.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
