Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
a) Reproducibility of the stimulus electrodiagnosis test (SET) manual and automated; ;b) SET sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of critical illness polyneuromyopathy to ultrasound as the gold standard.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
a) Association and collinearity between chronaxia and intensity-duration curve with clinical characteristics (physiological severity and trauma score at admission (SAPS III and ISS), physiological severity score at the day of assessment (SOFA), presence of sepsis, use of vasopressor drugs, blood glucose, use of corticosteroids, etc.), as well as, with clinical outcomes (duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, mortality, etc.). ;b) Association between the quality of evoked contraction and two points of pulse width in the intensity-duration curve (500 us and chronaxia);
