Effect of Using Multimodality Chest Physiotherapy on Myasthenia Gravis Patients' Clinical Outcomes

Abstract

Background: Myasthenia gravis is a rare disease that affects the respiratory muscles with mechanical ventilator support. Multimodalities of respiratory therapies may reduce or prevent such those complications, thereby improving gas exchange and airway clearance. Purpose: To explore the effect of multimodality chest physiotherapy on myasthenia gravis patients' clinical outcomes. Design: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized. Sampling: A purposive sample of 80 adult patients were selected.
