2 Mortality and ARDS ProgressofIntensiveCareMedicinehas resulted in significantly improved survival of critically ill patients. ICU treatment: buying time to allow vital systems to recover function is oftentimes associated with prolonged bed rest and inactivity Type I ~ 3% per day Type II ~ 4% per day Limb muscle weakness in critically ill patients Helliwell et al. Neuropathology and Appl Neurobiol. 24, , 1998.

3 Respiratory muscle weakness in critically ill patients 95 surgical and medical ICU patients, mechanically ventilated for more than 7 days 25 % had significant muscle weakness at day 7 after awakening Medical Research Counsil Sclae, Mean ICU Acquired Weakness (MRC sum score less than 48/60) Right side Left side Shoulder Elbow Wrist Hip Knee Upper extremity Lower extremity Ankle Hermans et al.
