Management of airway clearance in neuromuscular disease.
The clearance of airway secretions from the lungs is normally supported by the mucociliary escalator and by cough. These protective mechanisms provide an effective means of pulmonary-hygiene maintenance in healthy individuals. Patients with neuromuscular disease that affects the respiratory pump (the muscles of breathing) can experience mild to profound limitation in both ventilation and cough....

neuromuscular diseases are abnormal processes involving cns (central nervous system), pns (peripheral nervous system), nmj (neuromuscular junction), muscle or any combination of these. our goals in neuromuscular disease are maintenance of function, quality of life, educate patient and family, anticipate needs, expect change and prevent or delay complications. limb contractures and scoliosis, we...
متن کاملRespiratory issues in the management of children with neuromuscular disease.
Most children with neuromuscular disease eventually require assistance with airway clearance and with breathing, especially during sleep. Techniques and devices for airway clearance and noninvasive ventilation that are commonly used in adults have been successfully adapted for use in infants and young children. Both physiological differences and small size of young patients with neuromuscular d...
متن کاملAn Overview of Cardiac Management in Neuromuscular Disease
Muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis are two neuromuscular disorders that can involve significant cardiovascular complications. The frequency and severity of cardiac pathology varies widely among the muscular dystrophies. In some, it is nearly inevitable and requires regular evaluation. In others, assessment of cardiac function can be more symptom-driven. On-ly a minority of myasthenic pati...
