Guillen-Barre Syndrome - 3 months in the ICU

[Stella]

Hello everybody, Am an ICU physio and now we have a patient with Guillen-Barre Syndrome. He's 3 months here and the last few weeks he started to move. We have slight contraction to all the muscles groups but he's still too weak. Still with a tracheostomy and a levin.

Am thinking to try electrical stimulation for the muscle atrophy is it going to work? I have been working in the ICU for 5 years and its the second time I deal with GBS. The first time, the patients had fully recovered here in the ICU but now things are much more difficult.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

thank u.
