  • Title: An approach to the care of patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome.
    Author: Griswold K, Guanci MM, Ropper AH.
    Journal: Heart Lung; 1984 Jan; 13(1):66-72. PubMed ID: 6559188.
    Abstract:
    Sophisticated nursing management is an integral part of treatment in GBS. Many difficulties are overcome if nurses have a sound basis of knowledge of the disease and can anticipate complications and explain the illness to patient and family. Most efforts are directed toward preventing the secondary medical complications of quadriparesis, bulbar paresis, and general disability. Plasma exchange is an important recent innovation in the therapy of GBS.
