Transcutaneous CO2 Monitoring at Home for Children With Neuromuscular Disease
Sponsor: The Hospital for Sick Children
Summary
There is an unmet demand for the evaluation of nocturnal hypoventilation in children with NMD. An ambulatory screening tool that can reliably facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment in these children would be invaluable. If an ambulatory, at home, tcCO2 monitoring device is shown to be diagnostically accurate, sleep physicians would be able to triage children on existing waiting lists and optimize screening of nocturnal hypoventilation as recommended by international guidelines.
