Notre expérience de ventilation non invasive chez l'enfant polyhandicapé

Non-invasive ventilation is still limited in children with total body involment or cerebral palsy. The aim of this study is to show our new experience in non-invasive ventilation. Six patients in the pediatric department of San-Salvadour hospital, with respiratory insufficiency and restrictive syndrome received non-invasive ventilation in order to improve their clinical status, their quality of life, and to delay acute respiratory failure and tracheotomy.
