Popis: Objective: To assess the characteristics and the incidence of morbidity of intubated asthmatic patients who received long-term paralysis. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Five intensive care units (ICUs) in Paris and the surrounding suburbs. Patients and participants: The NMB group consisted of patients who received neuromuscular blocking agents for more than 12 h (NMB group) versus sedation alone (SED). Interventions: None.
