Abstract
Four children with prolonged dependency on a ventilator were found to have reversible quadriparesis, muscle wasting, and hyporeflexia after 8 to 20 days of assisted ventilation for life-threatening sepsis or respiratory failure. Critical illness neuromuscular disease, which was recently recognized as a distinct clinical syndrome in adults, may also be manifested in children by prolonged ventilatory dependency.Entities:
