Résumé
Up to 40% of cases of Guillian -Barre syndrome [GBS] require ICU admission and ventilatory support. The aim of this paper is to describe our experience with different modalities in managing GBS. 31 patients with GBS were enrolled in groups. Group A were managed by plasmaphoresis [11 patients], group B were managed by intravenous immunoglobulin [seven patients], group C patients were managed by plasmaphoreses and IVIG [six patients], and group D [six patients]were managed by classical old method [ventilatory support only].There were 17 male and 14 female,, the ages of them between 2-70 years. The use of new modalities significantly shorten the period of ICU admission [36 days with new methods, 59 days with classical methods], this decrement in period of staying in the ICU play an important role in preventing complication and improving the course of the disease. [Group B is the most superior one, while group D is in the bottom on the list]. The use of new methods in managing GBS shortened the period of ICU staying
