Respiratory muscle dysfunction in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

• Dante Brasil Santos, Ghilas Boussaid, +6 authors Hélène Prigent
• Neuromuscular disorders : NMD
• 2015

Respiratory insufficiency in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy has rarely been studied. We compared two age- and sex-matched groups of 29 patients, with and without respiratory dysfunction.… (More)

Bench evaluation of commercially available and newly developed interfaces for mouthpiece ventilation.

• Adam Ogna, Hélène Prigent, +5 authors Frédéric Lofaso
• The clinical respiratory journal
• 2016

INTRODUCTION Mouthpiece ventilation represents a valuable treatment for patients needing daytime non-invasive ventilation. This modality is however underused, in part because of limitations in the… (More)

Accuracy of tidal volume delivered by home mechanical ventilation during mouthpiece ventilation: A bench evaluation.

• Adam Ogna, Hélène Prigent, +5 authors Frédéric Lofaso
• Chronic respiratory disease
• 2016

The aim of our study was to evaluate efficacy and reliability of currently available ventilators for mouthpiece ventilation (MPV). Five life-support home ventilators were assessed in a bench test… (More)

Assisted vital capacity to assess recruitment level in neuromuscular diseases.

• Dante Brasil Santos, Aurélien Boré, +5 authors Hélène Prigent
• Respiratory physiology & neurobiology
• 2017

Respiratory muscle weakness and chest wall abnormalities in neuromuscular diseases (NMD) may lead to decreased pulmonary volumes. We assessed the reversibility of vital capacity (VC) reduction with… (More)

Impact of invasive ventilation on survival when non-invasive ventilation is ineffective in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: A prospective cohort.

• Ghilas Boussaïd, Frédéric Lofaso, +5 authors David Orlikowski
• Respiratory medicine
• 2016

BACKGROUND Many patients with DMD undergo tracheostomy. Tracheostomy is associated with certain complications, however its effect on prognosis is not known. METHODS The relationship between type of… (More)

Factors influencing compliance with non-invasive ventilation at long-term in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1: A prospective cohort.

• Ghilas Boussaïd, Frédéric Lofaso, +5 authors Stéphane Bahrami Bahrami
• Neuromuscular disorders : NMD
• 2016

This study evaluated compliance with non-invasive ventilation in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 and identified predictors of cessation at 5 years in a cohort of patients followed in a… (More)

Twitch mouth pressure for detecting respiratory muscle weakness in suspicion of neuromuscular disorder.

• Dante Brasil Santos, Gilbert Desmarais, +6 authors Frédéric Lofaso
• Neuromuscular disorders : NMD
• 2017

Twitch mouth pressure using magnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerves and an automated inspiratory trigger is a noninvasive, non-volitional assessment of diaphragmatic strength. Our aims were to… (More)
