Abstract Introduction The aim of the study was to describe patterns of neuromuscular weakness using a combination of electromyography and histology and to evaluate functional outcome in patients following complicated cardiovascular surgery. Methods Fifteen adults requiring long-term mechanical ventilation 15 days following cardiovascular surgery associated with postoperative complications were prospectively included. Electrophysiological and histological analyses muscle and nerve were performed when failure to wean from mechanical ventilation associated with peripheral neuromuscular weakness was noticed. Functional disability was .
