Tracheostomy Care
Tracheotomy: procedure of establishing opening in trachea via incision.
Tracheostomy: opening created by tracheostomy procedure (stoma = opening).

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
At the age of 32, Lou Gehrig had already made his name as one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He was a two-time MVP, had become the league leader in BA, HRs, & RBIs, and had not missed a game in over 12 yrs with the NY Yankees. Yet, by ’38, his teammates and fans noticed that something was wrong. He was dragging his feet during practice, and his batting average was slipping drastically. Day by day, he grew weaker.
![Page 26: CRC 432 Subacute Care Problem-Based Learning Module I Tracheostomy Care/ Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d895503460f94a6f3c4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
By 1939, Gehrig was too frail to play any longer. At last, a doctor delivered the bad news: he had ALS. Gehrig died just two years later – one of the finest athletes the world had ever seen, unable to move a single muscle, or to draw another breath.
Lou Gehrig died in 1941.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Stephen Hawking said, "ALS has not prevented me from having a very attractive family, and being successful in my work . . . I have been lucky that my condition has progressed more slowly than is often the case. But it shows that one need not lose hope."

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Eventually, all muscles under voluntary control are affected Motor neurons die, and muscles waste awayPatients lose their strength and the ability to move their arms, legs, and body. Patients lose ability to breathe when diaphragm and chest wall muscles fail Ventilatory support then needed
![Page 33: CRC 432 Subacute Care Problem-Based Learning Module I Tracheostomy Care/ Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d895503460f94a6f3c4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Aspiration pneumonia and medical complications of immobility contribute to morbidity. ALS occurs in about 5 of 100,000 peopleOnset usually occurs in patients aged 40-60 yearsProgressive fatal illnessDeath 1 to 3 years after diagnosis
![Page 34: CRC 432 Subacute Care Problem-Based Learning Module I Tracheostomy Care/ Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d895503460f94a6f3c4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Bulbar symptoms: first notices slurring of words or choking during meals; aspiration events or acute respiratory symptoms of air hunger occur.
Somatic symptoms: wrist drop interfering with work performance; may find reduced finger dexterity, cramping, stiffness, weakness or wasting of intrinsic hand muscles; develop foot drop resulting in a fall or sprain; sensory neurons unaffected.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
LOWER MOTOR NEURON SYMPTOMSWeakness & muscle wastingFasciculations & muscle twitchingSigns of increased muscle irritabilityFasciculations: benign when no muscle weakness or atrophy occursFasciculations: pathologic with ALS symptoms

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Bulbar involvement causes speech and swallowing difficulties
May be only manifestation of ALS
Some ALS patients have bulbar involvement, but normal strength in arms, legs, & respiratory muscles
Difficulty controlling saliva

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Not abnormal amount of saliva produced
Mouth & tongue cannot cope with handling normal amount of saliva
Drooling (sialorrhea) occurs
Medications used to decrease saliva production: glycopyrrolate
tricyclic antidepressants
amitriptyline
nortriptyline
atropine
scopolamine patch

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Extreme, uncontrollable laughter or crying; called emotional lability

Amyotrophic Lateral SclerosisDIAGNOSIS
Clinical diagnosis (No specific tests)Worsening of symptomsSymptoms of both brain & spinal cordStiffness in legs, face, jawDecreased coordinationFatigueExaggerated reflexesUncontrolled laughter and crying
![Page 41: CRC 432 Subacute Care Problem-Based Learning Module I Tracheostomy Care/ Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d895503460f94a6f3c4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
DIAGNOSIS
Electromyography (EMG): detects electrical activity in muscles
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): creates images of brain & spinal cord
Nerve conduction velocity (NCV): how fast nerves transmit impulses
![Page 42: CRC 432 Subacute Care Problem-Based Learning Module I Tracheostomy Care/ Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d895503460f94a6f3c4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Amyotrophic Lateral SclerosisNo loss of anal sphincter tone occurs.Cardiac and smooth muscle are not involved.Course is progressive, and initial symptoms primarily are those of weakness.Ocular musculature is not involved.Quick definitive diagnosis is rare. Neurologists need many months to exclude other diagnoses in patient presenting with upper and lower motor neuron signs.
