A Method to Optimize Mecanical In-exsufflation in Neuromuscular Diseases

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 40 (actual)
• Sponsor: Centre d'Investigation Clinique et Technologique 805 · Academic / Other

Summary

The investigators want to demonstrate that there is an optimal expiratory pressure when using mecanical in-exsufflation for each patient in neuromuscular disease. This compromise is between the need to generate a high pressure difference between alveoli and the mouth and the need to avoide and superior airways collapsus.
