Abstract: |
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a rapidly progressive neuro-degenerative disease which leads to the loss of the power of movement in all voluntary muscles. This leaflet lists a number of clinical guidelines relating to respiratory management which aim to ensure that people with MND get the best possible care available. Each guideline was systematically developed from the evidence base. Two multi-professional groups, supported by staff from the MND Association, developed the recommendations. The guidelines are listed for the following issues: detection of early respiratory insufficiency; recommended procedures for monitoring respiratory function; management of respiratory insufficiency; patients’ and carers’ views on managing difficulties with respiratory function; non-invasive ventilation and respiratory insufficiency; invasive ventilation and respiratory insufficiency; and optimal methods of withdrawing both non-invasive and invasive ventilation. The guidelines are aimed at all those involved in caring for people with MND, including commissioning organisations, service providers, and health and social care professionals, and also people affected by MND. |
