Clinical Trial Summary

Patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are at risk for developing severe disabilities, physical or cognitive. In particular, ICU-acquired weakness is frequent. The causes of this weakness are multiple and the physiopathology is still not fully understood. Immobilization in bed and sepsis are known risk factors.

ICU-acquired weakness has been associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation duration, and increased in ICU and hospital length of stay. It has also been associated with significant decrease in functional capacity and with higher mortality. An early screening using a specific diagnostic protocol could help improving the management of patients suffering from ICU acquired weakness.

The aim of this study is to early detect ICU acquired weakness in patients suffering from septic shock and ventilated for more than 72 hours.
