Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in paediatric neuromuscular disease
TL;DR: NPPV can decrease hospitalisations for children with neuromuscular disease and improves sleep related respiratory parameters, and a prospective study is now needed to further delineate the role of NPPV in this population of children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nocturnal hypoventilation: predictors and outcomes in childhood progressive neuromuscular disease
Sherri L. Katz,Isabelle Gaboury,Krista Keilty,Brenda Banwell,Jiri Vajsar,Peter J. Anderson,Andy Ni,Ian MacLusky +7 more
TL;DR: 15% of subjects had clinically unsuspected nocturnal hypoventilation, predicted by moderate pulmonary function test impairment and scoliosis, and over 1 year those with NH had increased gas trapping, decline of muscle strength and worse perception of health status, despite NPPV.
Journal ArticleDOI

David Nicholas,Krista Keilty +1 more
TL;DR: A dyadic peer support pilot intervention for parents of technology-assisted children with chronic lung disease offered a valued opportunity for mutual sharing with another parent who could understand the unique realities particular to caring for a medically-fragile child.
Journal ArticleDOI

Krista Keilty,Krista Keilty,Eyal Cohen,Eyal Cohen,Michelle Ho,Michelle Ho,Karen Spalding,Karen Spalding,Robyn Stremler,Robyn Stremler +9 more
TL;DR: Findings of this review suggest that family caregivers of children with medical complexity who depend on medical technology achieve poor sleep quality and quantity that may place them at risk of the negative consequences of sleep deprivation.
