[Role of the Advanced practice nurse (APN) in the follow-up of respiratory failure in neuromuscular patient].

This study, which focuses on the follow-up of respiratory failure in neuromuscular patients, highlights the need to improve the supply of care and to compensate for gaps in care. Advanced practice nurses (APNs) as part of a multidisciplinary approach, could be the missing link. Improving the management of neuromuscular disorders is a key concern for the Filnemus neuromuscular rare disease network, the reference centers and the AFM-Téléthon. This is also where the need for an APN specialized in neuromuscular disorders is being discussed, and which could meet needs that are not covered, or are insufficiently covered, in the healthcare pathway.
