Tim Noel was the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada. In the prime of his life, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In this TVO interview, Tim shares his life with ALS and determination to raise the profile of this condition.

David candidly shares his daily life with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in an interview with Dr. McKim. Visit our website at www.canventottawa.ca for more information on noninvasive ventilation.

David demonstrates a very practical technique to clear the nasal passages when you have a neuromuscular condition with weak breathing muscles. Visit our website at www.canventottawa.ca for more information on noninvasive ventilation.

Glenn requires breathing support throughout the day. He shares his experience after recently being hospitalized on an urgent basis for a non-respiratory condition. Visit our website at www.canventottawa.ca for more information on noninvasive ventilation.

Kyle has Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. It is one of nine types of muscular dystrophy. In this video, he shares his experience with the mechanical insufflator-exsufflator (MI-E), a cough machine used to assist with lung secretion management.

Kyle has Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is characterized by progressive loss of muscle strength, eventual loss of ambulation and of respiratory muscle strength. Kyle resides in a community setting despite 24-hour breathing support. He uses a home ventilator with a breathing pipe. A tracheostomy is not required as long as Kyle is able to secure the breathing pipe with his lips and i...

Easy access to mouthpiece ventilation for noninvasive breathing support has made a difference in my life. Visit our website at www.canventottawa.ca for more information on noninvasive ventilation.

In this video, Greg demonstrates how he uses day mouthpiece ventilation and noninvasive bilevel ventilation in his transition trials to a diaphragmatic pacer system (DPS) for supported breaths. DPS is an alternative ventilation option that can be used either alone or as a complement to full-time noninvasive ventilation. Visit our website at www.canventottawa.ca for more information. SCI & DPS T...

This video invites the viewer to step into the intensive care unit during a glossopharyngeal teaching session with Greg and the respiratory therapist. Greg suffered a spinal cord injury. He has no ventilator-free breathing time. He uses the ventilator to breathe through the tracheostomy at night, and during the day he uses a mouthpiece for supported breaths with the tracheostomy opening capped....

Peak cough flow (PCF) is a measure of cough effectiveness. Individuals with weak respiratory muscles such as in neuromuscular disease or spinal cord injury inadvertently have a weak cough and difficulty clearing lung secretions. In this video, the respiratory therapists measure Greg’s peak cough flow with maximum insufflation using the breath-stacking bag (or lung volume recruitment bag) to pre...

Measure on a routine basis lung volume recruitment with individuals who have a neuromuscular disease or spinal cord injury to compare the maximum insufflation capacity (MIC) and the vital capacity (VC). The difference between the two variable (MIC-VC difference) demonstrates the effect of routine lung inflation and assists with the assessment of disease severity. The MIC-VC lung volume differen...
