Respiratory Dysfunction in Neuromuscular Disorders: Evaluating Symptoms


Listen Later

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP
Guest: Hank Mayer, MD

Patients with neuromuscular conditions often exhibit respiratory symptoms that impact their airway clearance and gas exchange, making it increasingly difficult for them to breathe. However, effective assessment techniques and early intervention can help mitigate the progression of this dysfunction, potentially keeping patients from needing extended recovery time or even inpatient care. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to discuss the importance of informed, proactive intervention for respiratory symptoms in patients with neuromuscular conditions is Dr. Hank Mayer. Dr. Mayer is the Medical Director of the Pulmonary Function Laboratory at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine.
