Issue Date: | Sep-2024 | Date: | 2024 | Publication information: | Sleep Medicine Clinics 2024-09; 19(3) | Abstract: | High-quality respiratory care and airway clearance is essential for people with neuromuscular disease (pwNMD) as respiratory tract infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. This review expands on published guidelines by highlighting the role of cough peak flow along with other options for cough evaluation, and discusses recent key research findings which have influenced the practice of respiratory therapy for pwNMD. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/35450 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jsmc.2024.04.009 | ORCID: | Journal: | Sleep Medicine Clinics | Start page: | 485 | End page: | 496 | PubMed URL: | 39095145 | ISSN: | 1556-4088 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Cough assist Duchenne muscular dystrophy Lung volume recruitment (LVR) Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) Physiotherapy Neuromuscular Diseases/therapy Neuromuscular Diseases/physiopathology Respiratory Therapy/methods Cough/therapy Cough/physiopathology Airway Management/methods |
