Continuous noninvasive ventilatory support outcomes for patients with neuromuscular disease: a multicenter data collaboration
2021, PulmonologyCitation Excerpt :Thus far, life has been extended to over age 50 for DMD by CNVS,7 and by a mean of 5.4 years for 385 DMD patients in this study,6,41,42 to age 27 for SMA1 by dependence on CNVS from as young as 4 months of age,43,44 and by a mean of over 1 year for 25 to 42%, and to a maximum of 8 years, for ALS patients.45 Such outcomes suggest that commonly reported “NIV failure”46–48 can result from inadequate NIV settings, failure to use MI-E at adequate settings, and failure to use diurnal NVS5 and air stacking.49 This explains the “preference” for tracheostomy for patients not offered CNVS and MIE.50,51
