Predicting Non-Invasive Ventilation in ALS Patients using Time Windows
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder of young adults. ALS patients usually present a rapidly progressive motor weakness caused by motor neuron demise. Death occurs in a few years, mainly due to respiratory failure. Therefore, adequate prediction of respiratory insufficiency has great importance in ALS management. We propose a prognostic model based o...

متن کاملSedation in non-invasive ventilation: do we know what to do (and why)?
This review examines some of the issues encountered in the use of sedation in patients receiving respiratory support from non-invasive ventilation (NIV). This is an area of critical and intensive care medicine where there are limited (if any) robust data to guide the development of best practice and where local custom appears to exert a strong influence on patterns of care. We examine aspects o...
متن کاملNon-invasive ventilation and diaphragmatic pacing in ALS
868 www.thelancet.com/neurology Vol 14 September 2015 Nutritional and respiratory care are the most important symptomatic and supportive treatments for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Non-invasive ventilation prolongs survival and maintains overall quality of life, and is now regarded as the standard of care for patients whose forced vital capacity is reduced to 50% or less. ...
