Core Tip New gene and RNA-based therapies slow progression of pediatric neuromuscular diseases but do not restore effective cough. When hypoxic episodes are treated with supplemental oxygen instead of noninvasive ventilatory support (NVS) and mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MIE), CO2 narcosis, intubation, and unnecessary tracheostomy or death often follow. Extubating ventilator-unweanable patients directly to continuous NVS and MIE, rather than pursuing prolonged weaning trials, allows most to return to their prior ventilator-use regimens without tracheostomy. This approach also saves over $500000 per patient annually in nursing and medical costs while preserving quality of life.
