Abstract

Objectives: To determine the correlation between the level of motor recovery and electrodiagnosis in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome treated with plasma exchange. Subjects and methods: A descriptive study on 36 patients diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome with indications for plasma exchange, who received electrodiagnostic examination before and after treatment at Bach Mai Hospital. Results and conclusions: The motor conduction indices on electrodiagnosis before and after plasma exchange were not statistically significant. After plasma exchange, the electromyographic indicators changed slowly, but in the group without mechanical ventilation, the group with improved muscle strength and the group with exercise recovery improved better.
