[Pathophysiology of neuromuscular weakness acquired in intensive care during sepsis]

Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening condition recognized as a global health priority by the World Health Organization. Survivors who develop intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) often face long-term motor and functional deficits that significantly impact their quality of life. Although some studies have investigated the mechanisms underlying ICUAW and its long-term effects, much remains unknown. Further research into ICUAW is therefore essential to gain a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon, which may guide the development of effective treatments to restore patients' quality of life.
