ResumoTwo patients who required ventilatory support for acute pulmonary disease failed to be weaned when they developed the Guillain-Barré syndrome. Respiratory muscle weakness was a major sign of their acute neuromuscular disease because the manifestations of critical illness obscured the progressive paralysis. Both cases illustrate the difficulty in diagnosing acute neuromuscular syndromes in critically ill patients.
