Non-invasive tension-time-index and ventilator use in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Neuropediatrics2008Vol. 39(05)
Abstract
Non-invasive determination of the tension-time-index (TTMUS) can identify predisposition to respiratory muscle fatigue in neuromuscular disease. We correlated TTMUS with age and extent of need of ventilator use for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
