Abstract

Adult Airway Extubation - methods Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - methods Emergency Treatment Female Follow-Up Studies Humans Intubation, Intratracheal - methods Monitoring, Physiologic - methods Myopathies, Nemaline - complications Myopathies, Nemaline - diagnosis Positive-Pressure Respiration - methods Respiratory Insufficiency - etiology Respiratory Insufficiency - therapy Risk Assessment Ventilator Weaning - methods
The authors report that a new oral interface designed for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use during anesthesia permitted the successful extubation of an "unweanable" 27-yr-old woman with nemaline rod myopathy to continuous noninvasive ventilatory support. She had failed two previous extubation attempts. Tracheotomy and institutional care were avoided as a result.
