TL;DR
In patients with neuromuscular disease and diaphragmatic dysfunction, even low-flow supplemental oxygen should be administered with caution, and assisted ventilation should be strongly considered as an initial intervention.
Abstract

PubMedHypercapnic ventilatory response in sleeping adults.
369 Citations1982N J Douglas, D P White +3 more
The decreased ventilatory responses to hypercapnia and hypoxia in REM sleep help explain REM-related hypoxemic episodes.
ThoraxRespiratory muscle and pulmonary function in polymyositis and other proximal myopathies.
354 Citations1983Norma M.T. Braun, N. S. Arora +1 more
Hypercapnia was particularly likely when respiratory muscle strength was less than 30% of normal in uncomplicated myopathy, and when vital capacity was lessthan 55% of the predicted value in any patient.
New England Journal of MedicineEffect of Carbon Dioxide on Diaphragmatic Function in Human Beings
329 Citations1984Gustavo Alberto San Juan, Peter Calverley +3 more
It is shown that acute respiratory acidosis equivalent to an arterial carbon dioxide tension of about 54 mm Hg decreases the contractility and endurance time of the diaphragm in human beings.
QJMDiaphragm Function and Alveolar Hypoventilation
305 Citations1976J. Newsom Davis, M Goldman +2 more
Alveolar hypoventilation was associated with disturbed sleep, morning headache and day-time fatigue, and the unreliability of voluntary respiratory manoeuvres of this kind as indices of ventilatory reserve is emphasized.
PubMedMaximal static respiratory pressures in generalized neuromuscular disease.
239 Citations1971Leo F. Black, Robert E. Hyatt
CHEST JournalNoninvasive Ventilatory Support during Sleep Improves Respiratory Failure in Kyphoscoliosis
206 Citations1988Elizabeth R. Ellis, Ronald R. Grunstein +3 more
It is concluded that maintenance of nocturnal ventilation by either nasal CPAP or nasal IPPV in patients withNocturnal respiratory failure does significantly improve clinical measurements of respiratory function and quality of sleep.
American Review of Respiratory DiseaseHyperoxic-Induced Hypercapnia in Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
173 Citations1987Catherine S. H. Sassoon, KATHLEEN T. HASSELL +1 more
It is concluded that hyperoxic-induced hypercapnia is primarily due to impairment in gas exchange rather than to depression of ventilation, and a reduced FEV1 appears to be a significant risk factor, whereas indices of respiratory drive are not likely to play a major role.

American Review of Respiratory DiseaseBreathing Pattern and Eye Movement Density during REM Sleep in Humans
118 Citations1988Grahame A. Gould, Matthias Gugger +4 more
Changes in the density of eye movement during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are associated with changes in ventilation and ventilatory response in animals and periods of frequent eye movements may be associated with hypoxemia during REM sleep.
PubMedMean and instantaneous expiratory flows, FVC and FEV1: prediction equations from a probability sample of Michigan, a large industrial state.
109 Citations1987A Miller, J C Thornton +4 more
These regression equations provided similar predicted values for FVC and FEV1 in nonsmokers to other models in wide use to help understand mean and instantaneous flows in normal men, but not in normal women.
American Review of Respiratory DiseaseDeterminants of Hypoventilation During Wakefulness and Sleep in Diaphragmatic Paralysis
104 Citations1980James B. Skatrud, Conrad Iber +3 more
A 45-yr-old man with limb girdle muscular dystrophy, bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis, chronic carbon dioxide retention, and hypersomnolence was studied to determine the causes of hypoventilation during wakefulness and during sleep.
PubMedNighttime ventilation improves respiratory failure in secondary kyphoscoliosis.
92 Citations1984Hoeppner Vh, Cockcroft Dw +2 more
Nighttime ventilation may be an effective alternative for long-term treatment of cardiorespiratory failure caused by secondary kyphoscoliosis and improvement was sustained over a mean follow-up period of 3.4 yr.
NeurologyVentilatory response in myotonic dystrophy
82 Citations1977James E. Carroll, Clifford W. Zwillich +1 more
Patients with myotonic dystrophy often develop respiratory failure caused by alveolar hypoventilation, and abnormalities in the ventilatory response to hypoxia and hypercapnia may explain this phenomenon.
American Review of Respiratory DiseaseTreatment of Alveolar Hypoventilation in a Six-Year-Old Girl with Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation Through a Nose Mask
79 Citations1987Elizabeth R. Ellis, Vincent McCauley +2 more
A 6-yr-old girl who was admitted in respiratory failure after a long history of disturbed breathing awake and asleep was studied, and there was a progressive increase in her awake arterial CO2 levels for a period of 4 wk.
Mayo Clinic ProceedingsNocturnal Nasal Ventilation for Treatment of Patients With Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure
70 Citations1991Peter C. Gay, Ashokakumar M. Patel +2 more
It is concluded that nocturnal nasal ventilation is well tolerated by most patients and may improve alveolar ventilation and arterial oxygenation in patients with chronic respiratory failure.
CHEST JournalLong-Term Follow-up of Nocturnal Ventilatory Assistance in Patients with Respiratory Failure Due to Duchenne-Type Muscular Dystrophy
54 Citations1990Chester Mohr, Nicholas S. Hill
It is concluded that noninvasive intermittent ventilatory assistance effectively reverses hypoventilation and symptoms in patients with late-stage Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but pulmonary function continues to deteriorate necessitating longer periods of ventilation, and often tracheostomy, within a few years.
The American Journal of MedicineBlunted respiratory drive in congenital myopathy
53 Citations1977D. Jason Riley, Teodoro V. Santiago +3 more
It is suggested that central depression of ventilation may occur more frequently than previously recognized in patients with muscular disorders and can be effectively managed by assisted ventilation at night.
American Review of Respiratory DiseaseOxygen Desaturation during Sleep as a Function of the Underlying Respiratory Disease
41 Citations1990Bengt Midgren
Three groups of patients with the same baseline oxygen saturation but with entirely different types of respiratory dysfunction, namely interstitial lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and scoliosis are compared, suggesting that sleep studies may be more informative in patients withScoliosis, for example, where a need for nocturnal-assisted ventilation can be revealed, than in Patients with lung diseases.
CHEST JournalElectrophysiologic Evaluation of Phrenic Nerves in Severe Respiratory Insufficiency Requiring Mechanical Ventilation
16 Citations1985S. S. Moorthy, Omkar N. Markand +2 more
It is observed that transcutaneous phrenic nerve stimulation in the neck and recording the diaphragmatic potentials from electrodes placed on the lower part of the chest is a simple, reliable, and noninvasive technique to diagnose diaphagmatic dysfunction at the bedside in critically ill patients.
