Long Term Follow-up of Ventilated Patients with Thoracic Restriction and Neuromuscular Disease

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long term effects of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) on pulmonary function, nighttime gas exchange, daytime arterial blood gases, sleep architecture and functional exercise capacity (6 min walk). Patients with respiratory failure attributable to thoracic restrictive dise...

description OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long term effects of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) on pulmonary function, nighttime gas exchange, daytime arterial blood gases, sleep architecture and functional exercise capacity (6 min walk). Patients with respiratory failure attributable to thoracic restrictive disease (TRD) (kyphoscoliosis) or neuromuscular disease (NMD) were assessed, ventilated, trained and followed in a dedicated unit for the care of patients requiring long term ventilation.
