ICU-Acquired Weakness and recovery from Critical Illness. N Engl J Med 370;17 nejm.org april 24, 2014

An interview with Dr John Kress, an ITU physician from the University of Chicago. Dr Kress is a highly respected and well published doctor with an interest in ICU acquired weakness, one of his more well known papers being " Daily Interruption of Sedative Infusions in Critically Ill Patients Undergoing Mechanical Ventilation" which discussed the use of sedation breaks in the critically ill patients in intensive care.

Dr Kress very kindly agreed to help me understand some of the principles involved in this paper.
