In several countries, including the US, active management of MND is practised using ventilatory support to manage respiratory insufficiency. Respiratory failure should be anticipated, so that rational and informed choices for survival can be made by patient, family and healthcare team. The choice to withdraw from life support should be available. Some productivity and quality of life can be maintained in the most disabled patients.
在包括美国在内的几个国家，采用通气支持来管理呼吸功能不全，对运动神经元病进行积极管理。应预见到呼吸衰竭，以便患者、家属和医疗团队能够做出关于生存的合理且明智的选择。应该提供停止生命支持的选择。在最严重残疾的患者中，一定程度的生活能力和生活质量可以得到维持。
