Show Notes

Patients with progressive or static neuromuscular disease, and certainly mitochondrial disease, can cause significant difficulty with airway clearance. This can be a problem on an everyday basis when a patient is well, but will become a much larger problem when a patient is acutely ill. We will discuss the link between bulbar / upper airway function, respiratory muscle weakness and airway clearance and how to optimize airway clearance and lung health.
