Abstract
Even if nerves and muscles are the principal targets of intensive care unit-acquired weakness, the neuromuscular junction may be as well involved. In intensive care units, neuromuscular blocking agents are classically used, and side effects are possible. Sepsis, immobilization, and denervation which are common in intensive care units may be the cause of neuromuscular junction disorders and participate to the pathophysiology of weakness. We propose here a review of end-plate disorders in intensive care units to highlight their mechanisms and propose diagnosis tools.
