- W2034334383 abstract "To evaluate intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy in children with very severe Guilain-Barré syndrome (GBS) with reference to the need for respiratory support, ICU stay and long-term outcome, we studied 33 children with very severe GBS and quadriparesis and/or respiratory muscle weakness admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of PGIMER, Chandigarh. Cases (n = 22, IVIG group) were enrolled prospectively, and controls (n = 11), similar to cases in age and severity of illness, retrospectively. All children received similar supportive and respiratory care. In addition, cases were given IVIG (Sandoglobulin, Sandoz) 0.4 g/kg bodyweight per day for 5 days. The mean age, duration of symptoms prior to admission and severity of illness in the two groups were similar. In the IVIG group, onset of recovery of muscle power was significantly earlier (day 14.8 (6.8) of illness vs day 20.9 (8.6), p < 0.05) and the length of PICU stay significantly shorter (20.5 (13.0) days vs 50.5 (33.3) days, p < 0.01). Sixteen (72.7%) children in the IVIG group had improved by at least one functional grade after 1 month and 15 (68%) were walking independently after 3 months compared with two (18%) and four (36%) controls, respectively (p < 0.05). The number of children who needed endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation and the duration of mechanical ventilation was significantly less in the IVIG-treated group. We conclude that in very severe GBS in children IVIG therapy improves outcome to a remarkable extent, reduces the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation, shortens the length of stay in ICU, and promotes ambulation sooner." @default.
