S. Guerin et al., « Atteinte respiratoire chez l’enfant en situation de polyhandicap sévère [Respiratory issues in children with severe neurological impairment] », Serveur académique Lausannois, ID : 10.53738/REVMED.2022.18.770.320
Respiratory problems have a significant impact on morbidity and mortality in children with severe neurological impairment. In particular, impaired airway clearance, recurrent respiratory infections, bronchial hyper reactivity can lead to acute decompensation and, with time, to chronic respiratory failure. Multiple coexisting and interacting factors that influence the respiratory status of these children should be recognized and effectively addressed to reduce respiratory morbidity and mortality. An accurate assessment involving a multidisciplinary approach and relatively simple interventions can lead to significant improvements in the quality of life of children as well as their parents and carers.
