تشخیص و مدیریت آتروفی عضلانی نخاعی: قسمت 2: مراقبت های ریوی و حاد؛ داروها، مکمل ها و ایمن سازی. سیستم های دیگر بدن؛ و اخلاق

This is the second half of a two-part document updating the standard of care recommendations for spinal muscular atrophy published in 2007. This part includes updated recommendations on pulmonary management and acute care issues, and topics that have emerged in the last few years such as other organ involvement in the severe forms of spinal muscular atrophy and the role of medications. Ethical issues and the choice of palliative versus supportive care are also addressed. These recommendations are becoming increasingly relevant given recent clinical trials and the prospect that commercially available therapies will likely change the survival and natural history of this disease.
