1/ Have you ever been confused about the pulmonary management of neuromuscular disorders? If so, I promise you aren’t the only one! Check out this #tweetorial primer on the basics of NMD management. @VCU_PCCM @crit_caring_MD @AvrahamCooperMD @PulmPEEPs #CHESTTrainees #MedEd
2/ Neuromuscular diseases affect the respiratory system in 3 main areas:
1⃣Ventilatory Function
2⃣Cough Function
3⃣Swallowing and Airway Protection
As muscle weakness progresses, this will lead to alveolar hypoventilation with subsequent hypoxemia and hypercapnia.

3/ Objective means to assess respiratory muscle function include:
1⃣Maximal Inspiratory Pressure
2⃣Maximal Expiratory Pressure
3⃣Forced Vital Capacity (Supine)
4⃣Peak Cough Flow
MIP <60 mmHg and nocturnal oximetry are effective in detecting early respiratory insufficiency.

Dr. Bosch:
What is APP? Proning patients who are not mechanically ventilated (MV)
He's presenting a case, let me ask you in the meanwhile; Do you perform Awake Proning?

@CritCareReviews @emcrit @PulmCrit @adamdavidthomas @nielsen_niklas presenting results @ttm2trial now join the livestream #SCCMSoME cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.10… Low numbers, lack of certainty hence need for TTM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… #CHESTTrainees @neurocritical
@CritCareReviews @emcrit @PulmCrit @adamdavidthomas @nielsen_niklas @ttm2trial @neurocritical Variability in evidence, lack of definitive answer for TTM/clinical equipoise @ttm2trial @WICSBottomLine power calculation based on ARR of 7.5, n=1900. Inclusion: Adult, comatose, cardiac arrest-cardiac/unknown; stable ROSC, no ECMO, not asystole, max time from arrest 180 mins
