Abstract: Intensive Care Unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) refers to generalized muscle weakness in ICU patients due to acute illness or its treatment, which cannot be explained by other causes. Given the variability in baseline conditions among ICU patients, the risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of ICU-AW warrant further investigation.
