Abstract
An early diagnosis of ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is difficult because disorders of consciousness preclude strength assessment [1]. Electrophysiological (EMG) studies may be an alternative approach [2]. In this study we investigated feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of EMG studies to diagnose ICU-AW in unconscious patients.
