Abstract:
The cause of sleep-disordered breathing in patients with neuromuscular disease is due to a sharp decrease in lung volume during supine sleep and the disease-induced upper airway collapse or cardiopulmonary failure. Polysomnography is used for the diagnosis of sleep - disordered breathing. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation is the standard management for sleep-disordered breathing.
