Neuromuscular disorders and acute respiratory failure: diagnosis and management.
Respiratory failure could result from a cardiopulmonary or a primary neurological disease. The latter could happen as a result of involvement of the central nervous system or a neuromuscular disease. Different neuromuscular diseases could result in respiratory failure by causing significant weakness of the respiratory and upper airways muscles. When confronted with a patient who presents with r...
متن کاملCardiomyopathy in neuromuscular disorders
Many neuromuscular disorders affect more than skeletal muscle. Because of the common structural and now more apparent molecular features between skeletal and cardiac muscles, many of the neuromuscular disorders also result in cardiovascular complications. Cardiomyopathy and conduction system diseases are the most frequent extramuscular features seen with many muscular dystrophies. The most comm...
متن کاملNeuromuscular Disorders
Disorders of the neuromuscular unit can result in clinical presentations that range from subtle symptoms to acute respiratory failure with significant morbidity and mortality. In most cases, the pathophysiologic mechanism of these disorders is well understood and permits an organization and understanding based on the level of the nervous system affected. This facilitates an approach that interp...

2. The normal sensori-motor nerve conduction with absent F-waves and tendon jerks of a moderately de-saturated semiconscious patient in the intensive care unit may be seen in: a. A classical pattern of critical illness myopathy involving both proximal and distal muscles b. Post-synaptic neuromuscular disorder c. The early stages of motor neuron disease (MND) (axonal loss) before the period of W...
