Early mechanical ventilation in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome at high risk of respiratory failure: a randomized trial

Early mechanical ventilation in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome at high risk of respiratory failure: a randomized trial

Abstract Introduction About 30% of patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome become ventilator dependent, of whom roughly 75% develop pneumonia. This trial aimed at assessing the impact of early mechanical ventilation (EMV) on pneumonia occurrence in GBS patients. We hypothesize that EMV will reduce the...
