CIPNM is an acute axonal sensory-motor polyneuropathy commonly seen in critically ill patients with sepsis and multiorgan failure. While no specific pharmacologic treatments exist, preventive measures such as the early provision of appropriate nutrition, glucose control, physical rehabilitation, and the cautious use of medications, including corticosteroids and NMBAs, can help reduce the incidence of CIPNM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
