An ideal ventilator for neuromuscular patients F. Lofaso, Raymond Poincaré Hospital Inserm U 1179
Neuromuscular diseasescausing progressive respiratoryfailure Cerebral diseases: strokes, tumors. Brainstem:primaryhypoventilation, polio, multiple sclerosis Motor nerves: ALS, SMA Neuromuscular juction: myasthenia gravis.. Myopathies : musculardystrophy, myotonicdystrophy, Pompe disease.. Respiratory failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality Benditt and Boitano, AJRCCM 2013

The ventilator management must be tailored to the needs and desires of the individual patient It should be effective on breathing, swallowing and coughing functions. To prolong survival and noninvasive techniques it should be tailored to the patient s desires.to improve quality of life : Benditt and Boitano, AJRCCM 2013
The French welfare system standard : Ventilator requirement depends on MV duration MV < 12h: Home-care ventilator support device (ISO 10651-6) MV> 12h: Home care ventilator for ventilator-dependant patient with alarm sound and internal battery (ISO 10651-2) MV>16h: an external battery pack and a back-up ventilator must be provided

Nocturnal ventilation assistance Whichmode of MV?
Modes of mechanicalventilation Volume-targeted Constant flow Guarantees adequate MV VT will not change even if respiratory system mechanic changes Pressure-targeted Variable flow. Easy to use/well tolerated. Can compensate for minor leaks Highermeanairwaypressure If same VTis used in both modes, P-mode is associated with lower maximal Paw

Then insufflation is delivered An interlocking support system combines with the breathing circuit to make access easy for patients An alarm which notifies absence of spontaneous breath within a selected period, thus no back-up rate is necessary
