Objective To evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcome of non-invasive ventilation
(NIV) in an epidemiological based series of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients …

INTRODUCTION: Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is associated with
improved survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and has been widely …

In order to evaluate the current standard of care for the management of respiratory failure in
patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a questionaire was mailed to the Medical …

Background/Aims: The involvement of respiratory muscles is a major predicting factor for
survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Recent studies show that noninvasive …

In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), respiratory muscle weakness leads to respiratory
failure. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) maintains adequate ventilation in ALS patients. NIV …

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) prolongs survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but
there are no data with which to compare the effectiveness of the different ventilator modes …

Introduction Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is part of standard care in amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis (ALS). Intolerance or unavailability of NIV, as well as the quality of correction of …

Objective: Non invasive ventilation (NIV) improves quality of life and extends survival in
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. However, few data exist about the factors …

Objective Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) improves amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS) quality of life and survival. However, data about its effect on disease progression are …

Rationale: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is standard of care in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS), yet few data exist regarding its benefits. Objectives: We sought to identify whether the …
