- Description
- Patients suffering from respiratory paralysis present an acute challenge, which must be faced and promptly dealt with, otherwise the patient will die. Poliomyelitis has been referred to as a disease entity from the beginning of history, but it is only in the last few decades that any active attempt has been made to treat those people in respiratory failure.
