    Abstract:
    Neuromuscular complications acquired in the intensive care unit form a new clinical entity. Three neuromuscular deficits are described: so-called critical illness polyneuropathy where neuromyopathic changes are associated with corticosteroid and/or neuromuscular blocking agents, and catabolic myopathy. We report four new cases: three of them concerning polyneuropathy and one neuromyopathic change.
