Since ALS doesn't actually kill you but respiratory failure does, if someone is on a trache and vent then couldn't they live indefinitely? for 20-30 years or even longer? I'm confused as to why or how ALS could kill you if you were on a trache and vent. Would this only be from possible complications? (such as infections or pneumonia etc?)
