Neuromuscular blockade and skeletal muscle weakness in critically ill patients: time to rethink the evidence?
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Evidence is provided that neuromuscular blocking agents may not be a major cause of weakness in a 21st century critical care setting and the established clinical view of an adverse relationship between the use of these agents and skeletal muscle weakness is challenged.
