[Pathophysiology of skeletal muscle during sepsis].
While sepsis mortality is reducing in developed countries due to advances in intensive care medicine, morbidity is increasing due to aging and obesity. ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a respiratory and limb muscle weakness experienced by many sepsis survivors and is present in 50-75% of sepsis patients. ICU-AW can persist for several years, making reintegration of sepsis survivors difficult and leading to a secondary decrease in long-term survival. Exposure of septic patients to multiple muscle-damaging factors during ICU admission, including hyperglycemia, immobility, mechanical ventilation, administration of muscle relaxants, and administration of steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, may compound the hyper cytokine, hyper nitric oxide, and hyper oxidative conditions, leading to the development of ICU-AW. However, the pathogenesis of ICU-AW remains unclear, and the pathophysiology of ICU-AW awaits further elucidation to develop therapeutic strategies. Recent ICU-AW studies have also revealed that skeletal muscle itself is a key organ in the inflammatory response and metabolic abnormalities in sepsis. In this article, we review the pathophysiology of skeletal muscle in sepsis and international trends in the development of therapeutic agents based on our research results.
