营养不良与呼吸肌

Clin Chest Med. 1986 Mar;7(1):91-9.

Malnutrition reduces respiratory muscle mass and contractile force through atrophy of Type II fibers and impaired energy metabolism. Nutritional repletion restores respiratory muscle function, but may add to ventilatory work. Nutritional repletion also enhances weaning from mechanical ventilation.

营养不良通过II型纤维萎缩和能量代谢受损降低呼吸肌质量和收缩力。营养补充可恢复呼吸肌功能，但可能增加通气负荷。营养补充还可促进机械通气撤机。
