Nocturnal hypoventilation in neuromuscular disease: prevalence according to different definitions issued from the literature

Restrictive respiratory failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neuromuscular diseases (NMD). Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is used to treat hypoventilation, identified by daytime hypercapni...

Vital Capacity Versus Maximal Inspiratory Pressure in Patients with Guillain–Barré Syndrome and Myasthenia Gravis

The objective is to determine whether maximal inspiratory pressure (P _imax) measurement is more sensitive than vital capacity (VC) measurement to detect acute respiratory muscle failure consider...

Effect of a tracheostomy speaking valve on breathing–swallowing interaction

Expiratory flow towards the upper airway after swallowing serves to expel liquid or food particles misdirected towards the trachea during swallowing. However, expiration may not occur consistently after swallo...

Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation as an Alternative to Endotracheal Intubation During Tracheotomy in Advanced Neuromuscular Disease

Tracheotomy is a major step for patients with neuromuscular disease as it requires a higher level of care, which affects quality of life and increases dependence. Intolerance or nonfeasibility of noninvasive v...

Carbon Dioxide Rebreathing During Pressure Support Ventilation with Airway Management System (BiPAP) Devices

In the 1980s, the development of noninvasive ventilation using pressure support ventilation with or without positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) constituted a major improvement in the management of both acu...

Assessing inspiratory muscle strength by sniff nasal inspiratory pressure

The sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP) consists in the measurement of pressure through an occluded nostril during sniffs performed through the controlateral nostril. It is an accurate and noninvasive appr...
