Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive degenerative motor neuron disease that can lead to rapid deterioration of respiratory function. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been shown to slow the progression of respiratory deterioration, improving patient survival and quality of life. In recent years the scientific debate has focused on some items such as the early start of NIV, the NIV modalities, and the settings and monitoring of the patient on NIV. In this work the most interesting studies published in the last 2 years have been reviewed to summarize the key points.
