Abstract
Guillain Barre syndrome (GBS) is an acute demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy characterized by bilateral upper and lower extremity muscle weakness, loss of reflexes, and variable degrees of sensorial loss. Plasmapheresis is recommended for patients with severe weakness, which may include inability to walk and difficulty breathing or other signs of bulbar insufficiency, including loss of gag reflex or difficulty in swallowing. In this report, we discusses the care in intensive care unit and immunoadsorption plasmapheresis in treatment of patients with GBS.
