Asynchrony Related to Mechanical Ventilation Exacerbates Diaphragm Dysfunction in a Mouse Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims In dystrophic mice (mdx, a genetic homolog of Duchenne muscular dystrophy: DMD), previous studies showed that mechanical ventilation (MV) induces ventilator‐induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). However, susceptibility to mechanical stress caused by asynchrony remains unknown.
