----------
Amyiotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease characterized by progressive muscular weakness, leading to limb palsy, difficulties in swallowing, speaking and breathing. Death occurs within 3-5 years in most patients in the context of significant suffering due to symptoms of respiratory failure. The availability of novel technology to support respiratory function by mechanical ventilation has profoundly changed the management of people with ALS. The present article addresses some critical aspects of both care pathway and the related therapeutics choices for patients with ALS on the basis of the experience of the Centro Clinico NeMO-Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli - IRCCS.
