    Guillain - Barre Syndrome

    Uploaded by

    Grant Kenneth Dumo Amigable
    Guillain-Barré syndrome is an immune system disorder where the body's own immune system attacks its nerves, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. Common causes include infection with the Campylobacter jejuni bacteria. Signs and symptoms include difficulty with eye and muscle control, swallowing, speaking, and chewing, as well as pricking and numb sensations in the hands and feet. Nursing interventions focus on monitoring respiratory status, muscle weakness, pain levels, and signs of respiratory failure. The primary treatment is intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, which contains healthy antibodies to combat the harmful antibodies attacking the nerves.
