Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV)

Study summary

The goal of this pilot observational study is to learn about the dynamic impact of the non invasive ventilation on the diaphragm in patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The main question it aims to answer : can diaphragmatic ultrasound detect differences in diaphragmatic motion (diaphragmactic excursion and diaphragmatic thickening between spontaneous breathing and non-invasive ventilation ?

Participants will receive diaphragmatic ultrasound assessments both under spontaneous breathing and during non-invasive ventilation on their day hospital evaluation for ventilatory support.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patient (≥18 years old) * Diagnosis of bulbar or spinal amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) established by a neurologist * Indication for non-invasive ventilation (NIV) confirmed by the referring pulmonologist for daytime and/or nocturnal alveolar hypoventilation Exclusion Criteria: * Continuous (24-hour) non-invasive ventilation * Patient refusal to participate * Individual under legal guardianship or judicial protection

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Composite : - Diaphragmatic excursion variation (DE) - Diaphragmatic thickening variation (DT) — Day 1
    Both DE and DT will be measured under spontaneous bretahing and under NIV. The outcomes will be compared, and the percentage variation between the two conditions will be recorded
