Management Of Guillain Barr㉠Syndrome In Patients With Community Acquired Pneumonia

Purpose: Gullain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a sub-acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy which often triggered by a preceding acute infection that mainly manifests as paresthesia, progressive bilateral and relatively symmetric weakness of the limbs that progresses over days to weeks. The purpose of this study is to determining management of guillain barr syndrome in patients with community acquired pneumonia Methodology: We presented a case of 41 years old male, presented with dyspnea and weakness in bilateral upper and lower limbs. The study was determining early signs of acute respiratory failure in patient, intubation with mechanical ventilation support was done and admitted in the ICU. Findings: Mortality rate has varied between 1-18% and usually attributable to pneumonia, sepsis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, or pulmonary embolism. In the current study, after the patient was aggressively treated with broad spectrum antibiotics, plasmapheresis and was supported by mechanical ventilation in the ICU, the patient started to show improvement on second day and progressed well. The patient then was discharged from the ICU on 11th day of admission. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: An aggressive management of respiratory failure with appropriate mechanical ventilation and antibiotics in Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) patients results in better patient states and faster recovery. From the current study, we recommend healthcare practitioners to perform an early aggressive management including mechanical ventilation and broad-spectrum antibiotics administration for GBS patient with respiratory failure and CAP.
