Long term non-invasive ventilation in the community for patients with musculoskeletal disorders: 46 year experience and review.
BACKGROUND A study was undertaken to assess the long term physiological and clinical outcome in 79 patients with musculoskeletal disorders (73 neuromuscular, six of the chest wall) who received non-invasive ventilation for chronic respiratory failure over a period of 46 years. METHODS Vital capacity (VC) and carbon dioxide tension (PCO(2)) before and after initiation of ventilation, type and ...
متن کاملLong-term nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation in advanced Duchenne's muscular dystrophy.
The aim of our study was to evaluate the long-term effect of nasal ventilation in patients with advanced Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD). To this end, we compared the clinical and pulmonary function course of five subjects affected with chronic ventilatory failure due to DMD and treated with nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) with that of an unventilated comparison gro...
متن کاملImpact of nasal ventilation on survival in hypercapnic Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
BACKGROUND Respiratory failure is the commonest cause of death in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Life expectancy is less than one year once diurnal hypercapnia develops. This study examines the effects of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) on survival in symptomatic Duchenne patients with established ventilatory failure. METHODS Nocturnal NIPPV was appl...
متن کاملEffect of non-invasive ventilation on respiratory muscle loading and endurance in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
BACKGROUND Respiratory muscle weakness in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) leads to respiratory failure for which non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is an effective treatment. This is used initially at night (n-NIPPV) but, as the disease progresses, diurnal use (d-NIPPV) is often necessary. The connection between NIPPV and relief of respiratory muscle fatigue rema...
متن کاملTransaminitis in Duchenne's muscular dystrophy.
BACKGROUND Persistently raised transaminase levels often prompt the clinician to investigate for liver pathology. Previously, some of our patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy have had investigations to look for liver disorders when the alanine transaminases (ALTs) were found incidentally to be high. AIM The objective of the study was to ascertain the levels of the transaminases in pati...
