Pulmonary Assessment and Management of Patients with Pediatric Neuromuscular Disease

Progressive neuromuscular disease leads to muscle weakness or failure that results in impaired airway clearance, loss of pulmonary function and progresses to clinical respiratory morbidity. Respiratory Assessment and Management of Patients with Pediatric Neuromuscular Disease covers the broad medical problems and specific pulmonary conditions in patients with pediatric neuromuscular disease, ranging from the different types of neuromuscular disease, the pathophysiology, assessment of and management, including both novel disease modifying pharmacotherapies and state-of-the-art clinical management.

This book provides evidence-based guidance on the pulmonary assessment and management of pediatric patients with neuromuscular disease, and is a valuable resource to pediatric pulmonologists, critical care physicians, and respiratory therapists willing to understand the cutting-edge therapies and standard of care for managing this population.
