Name
Mouthpiece Ventilation & Non-Invasive Ventilation with Neuromuscular Patients
Description
Mouthpiece and Non-Invasive Ventilation are two very important tools used to treat early-stage neuromuscular disease patients. The purpose of this course is to provide a basic understanding of the clinical manifestations of neuromuscular disease and benefits of treatment modalities.
Proposed Learning Objective (1)
