IACD Institute meeting & Seminar. Bronwen Connolly, KCL, Consultant Clinical Research Physiotherapist. 'Peripheral skeletal muscle in critical illness – wasting, weakness and rehabilitation.' Host: Ingeborg Welters. Dr Bronwen Connolly is a Consultant Clinical Research Physiotherapist in Critical Care at Guy’s and St.Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, and NIHR Postdoctoral Fellow. She completed her PhD in 2014 investigating the clinical assessment and treatment of intensive care unit-acquired weakness and exercise rehabilitation for survivors of critical illness. Her research interests include physiological assessment of peripheral skeletal muscle architecture and function, the recovery, long-term outcome and survivorship of post critical illness patients and clinical trial methodology around complex rehabilitation interventions. This talk will focus on current knowledge around muscle dysfunction during critical illness including assessment of muscle wasting, weakness and rehabilitation strategies designed to ameliorate the effects of this and its impact on physical function outcomes in critically ill patients
