RESUMO
Anticipated sequelae of critical care admission for COVID-19 disease remain unclear. Our Edinburgh-based critical care follow-up service identified patterns with nerve injury in 13 of 35 patients who attended following a critical care admission between 15/03/2020 and 25/12/2020. This included 7 cases of meralgia parasthetica, 1 brachial plexopathy, 2 common peroneal neuropathies and 3 ulnar neuropathies. All cases of upper limb neuropathy and foot drop occurred in patients in whom prone positioning was used, with meralgia parasthetica occurring additionally in patients who remained supine.
