Acute neuromuscular dysfunction
Acute neuromuscular dysfunction refers to a sudden problem with nerve signals and muscle function, leading to weakness, difficulty moving, or loss of muscle control. It can result from various causes such as infections, medical conditions, toxins, or certain medications that affect how nerves communicate with muscles. This disruption can happen rapidly and may impact breathing or other vital functions if muscles involved are crucial for breathing or movement. Prompt medical attention is essential to identify the cause and initiate appropriate treatment to restore normal nerve and muscle function.
