Overview
No treatment are required in unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis because most patients are asymptomatic. In bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis treatment options are ventilatory support and diaphragmatic pacing.
Medical Therapy
Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis
- No treatment are required in unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis because most patients are asymptomatic.[1]
- Transient ventilatory support with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) or invasive mechanical ventilation: it is used when patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis develop acute respiratory dysfunction after general aneshesia or infections.
Bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis
- Treatment options depends upon the severity of paralysis of the diaphragm and etiology. [2][3]
- Ventilatory support (invasive or noninvasive)
- Diaphragmatic pacing:
Diaphragmatic paralysis
Antiviral therapy for viral etiology of diaphragmatic paralysis:[6]
- Adult
- Valacyclovir 1000 mg twice daily for 1 week
