    During critical illness, patients experience significant and rapid onsets of muscle wasting and dysfunction with loss of strength, mass, and power. These deficits often persist long after the ICU, leading to impairments in physical function including reduced exercise capacity and increased frailty and disability. While there are numerous studies describing the epidemiology of impaired muscle and physical function in the ICU, there are significantly fewer data investigating mechanisms of prolonged and persistent impairments in ICU survivors. Additionally, while several potential clinical risk factors associated with poor physical recovery have been identified, there remains a dearth of interventions that have effectively improved outcomes long-term among survivors. In this article, we aim to provide a thorough, evidence-based review of the current state of knowledge regarding muscle dysfunction and physical function after critical illness with a focus on post-ICU and post-hospitalization phase of recovery.

MEDLINE, Web‐of‐Science, LILACS and CINAHL were searched from inception to 27 June 2025. Eligible studies included adults who received physical rehabilitation while a femoral catheter was in place. The primary outcome was the incidence rate (exact Poisson methods) of catheter‐related adverse events occurring during or immediately after rehabilitation sessions. Data were synthesised descriptively, and study‐specific incidence rates were calculated. Risk of bias was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute tools.

Activities ranged from cycling in bed to walking. A total of 19 catheter‐related adverse events were identified across four studies (27%). The overall incidence rate was 3.8 (95% CI 2.3–5.9) per 100 patients and 0.81 (95% CI 0.45–1.34) per 100 sessions. Incidence rates per 100 patients were 1.3 (95% CI 0.4–3.4) for mixed venous/arterial, 0.0 (95% CI 0.0–4.8) for haemodialysis and 11.8 (95% CI 6.6–19.5) for intra‐aortic balloon pump catheters.

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Rationale</jats:title> <jats:p>Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is common in critically ill patients, characterized by muscle weakness and physical function loss. Determining risk factors for ICUAW poses challenges due to variations in assessment methods and limited generalizability of results from specific populations, the existing literature on these risk factors lacks a clear and comprehensive synthesis.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Objective</jats:title> <jats:p>This overview aimed to synthesize risk factors for ICUAW, categorizing its modifiable and nonmodifiable factors.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods</jats:title> <jats:p>An overview of systematic reviews was conducted. Six relevant databases were searched for systematic reviews. Two pairs of reviewers selected reviews following predefined criteria, where bias was evaluated. Results were qualitatively summarized and an overlap analysis was performed for meta-analyses.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>Eighteen systematic reviews were included, comprising 24 risk factors for ICUAW. Meta-analyses were performed for 15 factors, while remaining reviews provided qualitative syntheses. Twelve reviews had low risk of bias, 4 reviews were unclear, and 2 reviews exhibited high risk of bias. The extent of overlap ranged from 0 to 23% for the corrected covered area index. Nonmodifiable factors, including advanced age, female gender, and multiple organ failure, were consistently associated with ICUAW. Modifiable factors, including neuromuscular blocking agents, hyperglycemia, and corticosteroids, yielded conflicting results. Aminoglycosides, renal replacement therapy, and norepinephrine were associated with ICUAW but with high heterogeneity.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>Multiple risk factors associated with ICUAW were identified, warranting consideration in prevention and treatment strategies. Some risk factors have produced conflicting results, and several remain underexplored, emphasizing the ongoing need for personalized studies encompassing all potential contributors to ICUAW development.</jats:p> </jats:sec>

    <jats:p> Revealing biological mechanisms leading to respiratory muscle dysfunction is essential to improve clinical outcomes in patients with critical illness. The purpose was to identify biological mechanisms associated with respiratory muscle dysfunction in patients with critical illness during mechanical ventilation or sepsis. Six databases were electronically searched from inception to January 2025, examining studies with muscle biopsies. Screening, data collection, and risk-of-bias were conducted in duplicate by two independent assessors. Meta-analysis was performed to determine differences in muscle biological parameters of patients with critical illness requiring mechanical ventilation compared with controls. From 22,036 titles screened, eight studies ( n = 187 patients and n = 161 controls) published between 2000 and 2024 met eligibility criteria. Muscle biopsies were taken between days 1 and 7 in the intensive care unit from the diaphragm ( n = 110; 3 studies), rectus abdominis ( n = 68; 5 studies), external intercostal ( n = 10; 1 study), and latissimus dorsi ( n = 3; 1 study). Diaphragmatic fiber cross-sectional area was 30% smaller (mean difference [95% confidence interval] = −629 [−876, −382] μm <jats:sup>2</jats:sup> ), with lower proportion of type II fibers (−1.94 [−3.40, −0.49]%) compared with controls. Diaphragmatic fiber force of patients was more than two standard deviations lower (standardized mean difference = −2.49 [−3.84, −1.14]), and ubiquitinated protein levels were higher (2.09 [−0.14, 4.32]) than controls. Extramyocellular, mitochondrial, and gene expression parameters were assessed in some studies, but low sample size and high heterogeneity prevented meta-analyses. In conclusion, muscle biopsies from ventilated patients revealed atrophy, contractile weakness, and proteolysis markers. Standardized methodologies assessing respiratory muscles are needed to clarify biological mechanisms leading to muscle dysfunction and to guide respiratory muscle interventions. </jats:p>

    <jats:sec><jats:title>Introduction</jats:title><jats:p>Early mobilisation has been extensively advocated to improve functional outcomes in critically ill patients, even though consistent evidence of its benefits has remained elusive. These conflicting results could be explained by a lack of knowledge on the optimal dosage of physical therapy and a mismatch between ventilatory support and exercise-induced patient ventilatory demand. Modern mechanical ventilators provide real-time monitoring of respiratory/metabolic variables and ventilatory setting that could be used for physical therapy dosage or ventilatory support titration, allowing individualised interventions in these patients. The aim of this review is to comprehensively map and summarise current knowledge on adjustments of respiratory support and respiratory or metabolic monitoring during physical therapy in adult critically ill mechanically ventilated patients.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and analysis</jats:title><jats:p>This is a scoping review protocol based on the methodology of the Joanna-Briggs-Institute. The search strategy will be conducted from inception to 30 June 2019 as a cut-off date in PubMed, CINAHL, Rehabilitation &amp; Sport Medicine, Scielo Citation Index, Epistemónikos, Clinical Trials, PEDro and Cochrane Library, performed by a biomedical librarian and two critical care physiotherapists. All types of articles will be selected, including conference abstracts, clinical practice guidelines and expert recommendations. Bibliometric variables, patient characteristics, physical therapy interventions, ventilator settings and respiratory or metabolic monitoring will be extracted. The identified literature will be analysed by four critical care physiotherapists and reviewed by a senior critical care physician.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Ethics and dissemination</jats:title><jats:p>Ethical approval is not required. The knowledge-translation of the results will be carried out based on the End-of-Grant strategies: diffusion, dissemination and application. The results will be published in a peer-review journal, presentations will be disseminated in relevant congresses, and recommendations based on the results will be developed through training for mechanical ventilation and physical therapy stakeholders.</jats:p></jats:sec>
