Abstract:
Neuromuscular diseases are a group of disorders that affect the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction and skeletal muscle.A subset of children with neuromuscular disease have rapidly progressive conditions that threaten respiratory and medulla oblongata function.The main causes of neuromuscular disease in PICU include severe neurological impairment, infections, comorbidities, unexpected situations, and other conditions that can exacerbate the primary disease.In each case, timely identification and development of the specific therapies and supportive care measures could improve prognosis.
