We applied daytime mouthpiece ventilation in 2 patients, one with bilateral diaphragm paralysis and one with unilateral diaphragm paralysis. Both of them had symptoms of severe dyspnea during the day. There was a subjective and objective (tested with 6MWD) improvement of exercise tolerance when they used mouthpiece ventilation during exercise.
