Pulmonary Issues in Patients with Chronic Neuromuscular Disease

Abstract: Patients with chronic neuromuscular diseases such as spinal cord injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and muscular dystrophies experience respiratory complications that are cared for by the respiratory practitioner. An organized anatomical approach for evaluation and treatment is helpful to provide appropriate clinical care. Effective noninvasive strategies for management of hypoventilation, sleep-disordered breathing, and cough insufficiency are available for these patients.

“…It decreases the incidence of shallow breathing, decreasing the carbon dioxide and increasing the oxygen in the blood. [13,14,16]. Even though there are studies which shows its effectiveness, there are many other studies which shows that NIV cannot be used for patients who have acute neuromuscular disorders like Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS).…”

“…Seule une ventilation mĂ©canique peut ĂȘtre proposĂ©e pour aider ou supplĂ©er les muscles respiratoires affaiblis [1]. Par ailleurs, des outils d'aide Ă  la toux peuvent aider Ă  l'expectoration des sĂ©crĂ©tions afin d'Ă©viter toute surinfection (kinĂ©sithĂ©rapie manuelle, CoughAssist Âź , air-stacking
) [2][3][4]. Ces diffĂ©rents outils thĂ©rapeutiques conjuguĂ©s Ă  une prise en charge cardiaque adaptĂ©e (mĂ©dicamenteuse, Ă©lectromĂ©canique [pacemaker]
) permettent, pour certaines pathologies, une survie prolongĂ©e avec une qualitĂ© de vie jugĂ©e comme satisfaisante [5][6][7].…”

“…23 Pulmonary complications are a well known cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. 24 Inspiratory muscle weakness decreases the ability to breathe deeply, and expiratory muscle weakness decreases the ability to generate the sufficient intrathoracic pressure during exhalation to cough effectively. While mucus production may be normal, some patients with bulbar muscle involvement may aspirate, leading to airway obstruction and infection.…”
