Show Notes
Lower motor nerve diseases (LMND) cause fatigue, weakness, and collapse. If severe, LMND can affect respiratory muscles, resulting in hypoventilation. In this podcast, VetGirl evaluates causes for lower motor neuron diseases, indications for mechanical ventilation/positive pressure ventilation (PPV), and the outcome of patients treated with PPV. Before putting your LMND patient on a ventilator, do you know the pros and cons?
