 ==Overview==
-'''Guillain-Barré syndrome''' ('''GBS''') is an acute, autoimmune, [[neuropathy|polyradiculoneuropathy]] affecting the [[peripheral nervous system]], usually triggered by an acute infectious process.

+==Secondary Prevention==
-A fundamental part of hospital treatment should fall on the family.  As hospitals reduce healthcare it becomes impossible to care for patients around the clock.  Patients that reach total paralysis are unable to signal or call for help and this is where family care becomes so important.  Family members provide care and support that patients desperately need and medical staff sometimes don't understand or are unable to provide.  Due to inactivity the body loses tone and flexibility.  It's suggested that learning Range of Motion from medical staff and using stretches and keeping the joints pliable will aid the patient to recover sooner than letting them lay in a vegetative position.  This also helps with circulation and the onset of bedsores.  Bedsore prevention mattresses provide comfort to the patient if the family is unable to maintain 24 hour care.  This is important because hospital recovery from Guillain-Barre can last from weeks to months.
