    Summary

    Neuromuscular diseases impair lung function, decreasing total lung capacity (TLC) and vital capacity (VC), while increasing residual volume (RV). This impacts artificial ventilation timing and understanding respiratory physiology in neurological conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Neurology
    • Clinical Physiology

    Background:

    • Neuromuscular diseases significantly affect respiratory muscle strength.
    • Understanding lung function changes is crucial for managing these conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine lung function parameters in patients with neuromuscular diseases.
    • To establish the timeline of lung function decline in specific neurological disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessment of lung function including total lung capacity (TLC), vital capacity (VC), residual volume (RV), and FEV1/VC ratio.
    • Longitudinal monitoring of patients with acute polyradiculoneuritis and myasthenia gravis.

    Main Results:

    • Patients exhibited decreased TLC and VC, and increased RV.
    • FEV1/VC ratio declined within two months in acute polyradiculoneuritis and within one year in myasthenia gravis patients with respiratory insufficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • Lung function changes in neuromuscular diseases necessitate careful monitoring.
    • Data provides practical insights for artificial ventilation management and theoretical understanding of respiratory physiology in neurological diseases.
