Nöromusküler Hastalıklarda Solunum Fonksiyonlarının Değerlendirilmesi: Derleme

Nöromusküler hastalıklarda kas iskelet sistemi problemlerinin yanı sıra solunum kas zayıflığı ve buna bağlı olarak solunum disfonksiyonu gelişebilmektedir. Solunumsal komplikasyonlar, özellikle kronik ve hızlı ilerleyen nöromusküler hastalıklarda morbidite ve mortalitenin en önemli nedenlerindendir. Bu hastalarda vital kapasite azalır, restriktif solunum paterni görülür. Solunum kas zayıflığı nedeniyle, nöromusküler hastalığı olan kişilerde yorgunluk, nefes darlığı, sekresyon birikimi, tekrarlayan alt solunum yolu infeksiyonları, solunum yetmezliği, pulmoner hipertansiyon ve akut veya kronik korpulmonale gelişebilir. Uyku ile ilişkili solunumsal problemler de başlangıçta uyku sırasında görülürken hastalığın ilerlemesiyle birlikte uyanıklık dönemine de yansır. Nöromusküler hastalıklarda sistematik klinik değerlendirme, erken dönemde hastanın fiziksel kapasitesindeki yetersizlik nedeniyle maskelenen solunumsal semptom ve bulguların saptanmasında esastır. Bu derleme nöromusküler hastalıklarda karşılaşılan solunum problemleri ile anamnez, fizik muayene, solunum kas gücü ölçümleri, arter kan gazları analizi, tepe öksürük akımı ölçümü, radyolojik değerlendirme, spirometrik ölçümler ve uyku başlıkları altında değerlendirmeyi kapsamlı olarak gözden geçirecektir.

Respiratory muscle weakness and consequently respiratory dysfunction may occur as well as musculoskeletal problems in patients with neuromuscular diseases. Respiratory complications are the most important cause of morbidity and mortality particularly in chronic and rapidly progressive neuromuscular diseases. Vital capacity is reduced and a restrictive ventilatory pattern is seen in these patients. Due to respiratory muscle weakness; fatigue, breathlessness, secretion retention, recurrent lower respiratory tract infections, respiratory failure, pulmonary hypertension, and acute or chronic corpulmonale may occur in patients with neuromuscular diseases. While respiratory problems may manifest initially during sleep, it also reflect to awake period with progression of diseases. Systematic clinical evaluation of neuromuscular diseases is essential for the detection of respiratory signs and symptoms which are masked because of physical capacity inability of patients in early stage. This review will evaluate comprehensively the assessment of respiratory problems which are encountered in neuromuscular diseases under the headings of history, physical examination, respiratory muscle strength measurements, arterial blood gas analysis, peak cough flow measurements, radiologic evaluation, spirometry and sleep.
