End of life decision making when home mechanical ventilation is used to sustain breathing in Motor Neurone Disease: patient and family perspectives [PDF]

BMC Palliative Care
Background Motor Neurone Disease (MND) leads to muscle weakening, affecting movement, speech, and breathing. Home mechanical ventilation, particularly non-invasive ventilation (NIV), is used to alleviate symptoms and support breathing in people living ...

Starting HMV at home: a reasonable option for many patients?

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background and objective In the current study, we undertook a more detailed exploration of the reasons why patients undergoing HMV were screened out of a recently published study in order to better understand how applicable home initiation of HMV is ...

Exploring red cell distribution width as a biomarker for treatment efficacy in home mechanical ventilation

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background With the growing practice of home mechanical ventilation, there is a need to identify biological markers for adequate follow-up. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a promising candidate because it is convenient, objective and may reflect ...

Clinical practice of non-invasive ventilation for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Respiratory Research, 2023
Background Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is an evidence-based treatment for acute respiratory failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, suboptimal application of NIV in clinical practice, possibly due to poor guideline adherence,

HOME MECHANICAL VENTILATION OF CHILDREN [PDF]

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1996
SUMMARYThe medical records of 89 ventilator‐assisted children followed at the University of Michigan Medical Center from 1978 to 1993 were reviewed. The status of these children was remarkably stable. Parameters of communication, nutrition, education, and mobility changed very little over time, and fewer than half had to be rc‐admitted. Children aged 9

From bedside to bench - In vivo and in vitro evaluation of mechanically assisted cough treatment in a patient with bulbar Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2022
When the ability to cough is impaired, secretion clearance may be assisted and augmented by Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation (MI-E) treatment. In patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, the efficacy of MI-E may be hampered by counterproductive ...
