Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report on the improvement of respiratory function of a fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy patient after receiving Korean medical treatment.
Methods: This study was carried out on a 60 year-old male patient who suffered from fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. While we carried out Korean medical treatment we observed EtCO2 (end-tidal carbon dioxide), Vte (exhaled tidal volume) and PIP (peak inspiratory pressure)
Results: EtCO2 count decreased from 34 mmHg to 24 mmHg during the treatment period, and PIP count became stable. Vte count also did not worsen in this study.
Conclusions: Based on this study we concluded that Korean medical treatment could be effective in treating fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy patients with respiratory failure.
