  • Title: Tracheal versus noninvasive mechanical ventilation in neuromuscular patients: experience and evaluation.
    Author: Soudon P.
    Journal: Monaldi Arch Chest Dis; 1995 May; 50(3):228-31. PubMed ID: 7663496.
    Abstract:
    From the experience of following 86 long-term ventilated neuromuscular patients, some aspects of the mode of ventilation are discussed: tolerance and problems, switching from one ventilation technique to another. As a general rule, the noninvasive methods are to be preferred. Tracheostomy may continue to be indicated in the event of an insufficient cultural level, recurrent aspirations, or low pulmonary compliance.
