چکیده

Objective: To evaluate mouthpiece ventilation (MPV) in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who are noncompliant with noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Methods: We evaluated four young patients with DMD who had previously refused to undergo NIV. Each patient was reassessed and encouraged to try MPV. Results: The four patients tolerated MPV well and were compliant with NIV at home. MPV proved to be preferable and more comfortable than NIV with any other type of interface. Two of the patients required overnight NIV and eventually agreed to use a nasal mask during the night. Conclusions: The advantages of MPV over other types of NIV include fewer speech problems, better appearance, and less impact on the patient, eliminating the risk of skin breakdown, gastric distension, conjunctivitis, and claustrophobia. The use of a mouthpiece interface should be always considered in patients with DMD who need to start NIV, in order to promote a positive approach and a rapid acceptance of NIV. Using MPV during the daytime makes patients feel safe and more likely to use NIV at night. In addition, MPV increases treatment compliance for those who refuse to use other types of interfaces. Objetivo: Avaliar a ventilação bucal (VB) em pacientes com distrofia muscular de Duchenne (DMD) não aderentes à ventilação não invasiva (VNI). Métodos: Foram avaliados quatro pacientes jovens com DMD que anteriormente recusaram-se a se submeter à VNI. Cada paciente foi reavaliado e encorajado a tentar VB. Resultados: Os quatro pacientes toleraram bem a VB e aderiram ao uso de VNI em casa. O uso de VB provou ser uma alternativa preferível e mais confortável que o uso de VNI com qualquer outro tipo de interface. Dois dos pacientes necessitaram de VNI noturna e eventualmente aceitaram utilizar uma máscara nasal durante a noite. Conclusões: As vantagens da VB sobre outros tipos de VNI incluem menores problemas na fala, melhor aparência e menor impacto no paciente, eliminando o risco de lesões na pele, distensão gástrica, conjuntivite e claustrofobia. O uso da interface bucal sempre deve ser considerado em pacientes com DMD que necessitam iniciar VNI a fim de promover uma abordagem positiva e uma rápida aceitação da VNI. O uso diurno de VB faz com que os pacientes sintam-se seguros e mais propensos a utilizar VNI à noite. Além disso, a VB aumenta a adesão ao tratamento naqueles pacientes que se recusam a utilizar outros tipos de interfaces.

Diurnal ventilation via mouthpiece: survival in end-stage Duchenne patients.

The present study aimed to assess the impact of diurnal mouthpiece intermittent positive pressure ventilation (MIPPV) as the extension of the nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In total, 42 DMD patients aged 15-33 yrs, normocapnic at night with NIPPV and receiving MIPPV since end-diurnal hypercapnia, were studied. Transcutaneous CO2 te...

P164: Adeno-Associated Viral Vectors in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an inherited X-link disease. The incidence of this muscle-wasting disease is 1:5000 male live births. Mutation in the gene coding for dystrophin is the main cause of BMD. Most cases of this disease succumb to respiratory and cardiac failure in 3rd to 4th decades. The slow progression of BMD and recent achievement of gene therapies make it as an appropriate c...

Mouthpiece Ventilation in Neuromuscular Disease

Mouthpiece non invasive mechanical ventilation is more frequently used in recent years because mouthpiece ventilation modes are being introduced to available portable ventilators. Often, a patient affected by neuromuscular disease needs noninvasive mechanical ventilation. Sometimes the patient does not accept the treatment, due to excessive air leakage, claustrophobia, anxiety and congiuntiviti...

Background Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a deadly X-linked recessive disorder. This genetic disorder affects 1 among 3,500-5,000 males in the world. The majority of the patients are male, due to the type of inheritance. It affects most of the skeletal, the respiratory, and cardiac muscles, causing these vital organs to contract and eventually mortality.<br...

Maintaining an "oral tradition": specific equipment requirements for mouthpiece ventilation instead of tracheostomy for neuromuscular disease.

Boitano and Benditt1 have applied the scientific method to provide further understanding of an aspect of airway management that is practiced by very few centers— one that is in great need of critical investigation and dissemination. It has been demonstrated that the improvement in nocturnal ventilation provided by noninvasive means carries over into the daytime hours and improves diurnal gas ex...
