Mouthpiece ventilation and complementary techniques in patients with neuromuscular disease: A brief clinical review and update.
Chronic Respiratory Disease 2017 May
Noninvasive ventilatory support (NVS) is sometimes reported as suboptimal in patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD). The reasons for this include inadequate ventilator settings and/or lack of interface tolerance. NVS has been used for many years in patients with NMD disorders as a viable alternative to continuous ventilatory support via a tracheostomy tube. The mouthpiece ventilation (MPV) is a ventilatory mode that is used as daytime ventilatory support in combination with other ventilatory modalities and interfaces for nocturnal NVS. However, there is still a poor understanding of this method's benefits compared with other modalities. This review aims to highlight the indications and advantages along with the disadvantages of MPV.
