New Index For Distinguishing Between Critical Illness Myopathy And Neuromyopathy: Cmap Amplitude/Duration Index, Handan Uzunçakmak Uyanik, Fatma Gökçem Yildiz, Çağri Mesut Temuçi̇n

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background/Aim: Critical illness-associated weakness (CIAW) is a common neuromuscular syndrome that may manifest as critical illness myopathy (CIM), critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP), or an overlap syndrome known as critical illness polyneuromyopathy (CIPM). Distinguishing between these subtypes can be challenging due to technical issues, patient-related factors such as insufficient cooperation with needle electromyography (EMG) and edema, and the need for sophisticated, time-consuming electrophysiological methods and invasive procedures such as biopsy. This study aims to contribute to the electrophysiological distinction between CIM and CIPM. Materials and methods: A new index was calculated based on distal compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude and …
