At the age of 26 she was hospitalised for a complete atelectasis of the right lower lobe, and had recovered after more than a month with the application of an intensive combined protocol of HFCWO (The Vest Airway Clearance System, Hill-Rom St. Paul, MN, USA) plus manual and mechanical assist cough (In-Exsufflator, Cough-Assist<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>, Philips Respironics, Murrysville, PA, USA). Her clinical condition remained good until the age of 28, when her lung function tests showed the following values: vital capacity 0.55 L (16% of the predicted value), maximal inspiratory pressure 10<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cmH<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span>O (11% of predicted), maximal expiratory pressure 14<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cmH<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span>O (13% of predicted), and peak cough expiratory flow 80<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>L/min. A few months later, due to the appearance of fever and copious mucus production, she was treated with manual and mechanical chest physiotherapy plus antibiotics (ceftriaxone) initially. However, she still complained of dyspnea and a feeling of retained secretions, and was then admitted to hospital. She had a severe left convex scoliosis with a mean Cobb angle of over 70°. After a chest X-ray, a CT scan was performed (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>) which showed atelectasis of the right lower lobe. Her diurnal arterial oxygen saturation (SpO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span>) fluctuated between 82 and 85% in room air, while PaCO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span> was normal. The patients showed minimal clinical signs of dehydration, namely dry mouth. She had good skin turgor and normal urine output. Haematocrit and electrolytes were normal except for potassium which was lower than normal. We began nutritional support and hydration because the patient was not able to eat and drink enough. Negative results were obtained from sputum cultures; however, intravenous antibiotics were administered. Twenty-four-hour NIV was begun, with the addition of oxygen (5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>L/min), as NIV alone was not enough to maintain SpO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span> above 90%. Fifteen-twenty minutes sessions of HFCWO at a pressure of 5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm H<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span>O and a frequency of 12<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>Hz were performed; each session was followed by five or six sessions of mechanical assist cough with an In-Exsufflator at pressures of +40/−45<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm H<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span>O, delivered respectively over 3 and over 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>s, with an abdominal thrust timed to the exsufflation cycle. This protocol was applied 4 times/day; additionally, In-Exsufflator was used on demand. Once 24-h NIV had begun, we asked the patient to frequently change her decubitus. However, as she had a severe scoliosis, she hardly changed her body position tending to remain on her right side. As the patient demonstrated a modest clinical improvement, we hypothesized that bronchial secretions had a high concentration of DNA due to accumulation of degenerated leukocytes. Therefore, one week after admission we tested rhDNase (Pulmozyme<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>; Roche, Basel, Switzerland). For three days, 2.5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg were delivered twice daily with a jet nebulizer, using an in-line nebulizer with NIV, without success. The next day flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) was performed, during NIV plus oxygen, to get a better evaluation of the cause of the obstruction and to possibly instill rhDNase bronchoscopically. FOB showed a lot of very thick mucus in the lower right lobe, but, due to its high viscosity, only a small amount could be removed. Then, a single dose of 2.5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg rhDNase was instilled directly over the affected area. As the procedure was performed in a clinical ward and the patient was at risk of intubation, this was carried out together with an Intensivist. Anyway, we had no complications except for a mild transient decrease in SpO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span>. The patient was closely monitored by trained nurses. Copious but thinner secretions were removed with the help of the In-Exsufflator. It had to be used six times in the first hour and three times in the second hour for periods lasting from 1 to 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>min to 10 or more consecutive minutes. In the following hours the In-Exsufflator was applied only according to the protocol and within 24<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>h a significant clinical improvement was evident, with a reduced need of oxygen. A new CT scan demonstrated a significant reduction of the atelectatic area (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>). The treatment was repeated two days after the first instillation with the same dose of the drug, with a further clinical improvement that allowed us to withdraw oxygen. Even after the second instillation, MI-E was often required, four times in the first hour and once in the second hour, unlike in the following days when it was applied only according the protocol. Two days later the patient was discharged (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0005">Table 1</a>). A month later the clinical and radiological recovery was confirmed (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0015">Fig. 3</a>).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0005"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0015"></elsevierMultimedia></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0035">Discussion</span><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This experience illustrates the safety and efficacy of intrabronchial rhDNase treatment in the management of infectious atelectasis in a non-invasively ventilated neuromuscular patient in whom physiotherapy techniques alone did not produce a rapid significant improvement.</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To the best of our knowledge, to date rhDNase has not been tested in neuromuscular patients. We initially used the drug in a nebulized form, and switched to intrabronchial instillation after that it was unsuccessful. Direct intratracheal instillation of the drug appeared to be far more effective than its inhalation. Actually in patients on mechanical ventilation nebulized administration of the drug may result in a significant deposition in the ventilator tubing. As we continued our usual physiotherapy treatment protocol after the rhDNase administration, we cannot confirm that the drug caused the patient's recovery from atelectasis; however, a significant clinical improvement rapidly started only after the drug instillation. Interestingly, the same temporal relationship between drug administration and clinical improvement has been observed in the other clinical series.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8,9</span></a> In common clinical practice FOB itself is considered a possible way of facilitating mucus mobilization.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> However, a small randomized controlled trial showed that it is no better than physiotherapy for resolving lung volume loss.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> In addition, atelectasis frequently recurs after bronchoscopy. Conversely, since the drug was instilled our patient easily expelled her secretions and progressively improved with no side effects apart from a mild and short-lived decrease in SpO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span>. This treatment was well tolerated by the patient who was not willing to undergo a long hospitalization.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Best clinical practice in neuromuscular patients usually requires non-invasive means to manage respiratory complications; however, intrabronchial instillation of rhDNase could be a supplementary method of treatment. As rhDNase is an expensive drug, a cost-benefit assessment would be warranted. We cannot accurately estimate how long the hospital stay would have been for our patient if rhDNase had not been used. However, compared to the previous episode of atelectasis, we saved 19 days of hospitalization. One vial of the drug costs 43 euros, and two vials were used for local instillation. Since one day's stay in our hospital costs 350 euros, the drug would have been cost-effective even if the stay were reduced by just one day.</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion, treatment with rhDNAse demonstrated a safe option for this neuromuscular patient with atelectasis who had not responded to normal intensive treatment. Bronchoscopic instillation gave the best results, liquefying secretions that were easily eliminated with the In-Exsufflator. As persistent atelectasis may be a life-threatening condition in neuromuscular patients, we suggest that this drug should be considered for neuromuscular patients when appropriate. Further studies are needed in order to confirm its efficacy and the best method of administration.</p></span><span id="sec0020" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0040">Ethical disclosures</span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0045">Protection of human and animal subjects</span><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that no experiments were performed on humans or animals for this study.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0050">Confidentiality of data</span><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have followed the protocols of their work center on the publication of patient data and that all the patients included in the study received sufficient information and gave their written informed consent to participate in the study.</p></span><span id="sec0035" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0055">Right to privacy and informed consent</span><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have obtained the written informed consent of the patients or subjects mentioned in the article.
