Authors' recommendations:
Invasive ventilation with tracheostomy probably prolongs survival considerably compared with non-invasive ventilation or no ventilation in ALS-patients with respiratory failure. The effect size is highly dependent on the severity of the respiratory failure when the treatment is initiated.
Moderate quality of evidence (+++0).
It is uncertain whether there is any influence on quality of life with tracheostomy and invasive ventilation as compared to non- invasive ventilation.
Very low quality of evidence (+000).
