Pediatric Home Mechanical Ventilation

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1987
Infants and children with chronic respiratory failure are a byproduct of improvements in intensive care medicine. Home mechanical ventilation is an alternative to hospital care for the ventilator-assisted child. With proper preparation, safeguards, and support, these children are being successfully managed at home.

Invasive versus non-invasive paediatric home mechanical ventilation: review of the international evolution over the past 24 years

Thorax
Background Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is the treatment for chronic hypercapnic alveolar hypoventilation. The proportion and evolution of paediatric invasive (IMV) and non-invasive (NIV) HMV across the world is unknown, as well as the disorders and

Home Mechanical Ventilation

2023
Abstract Summary Mechanical ventilation is increasingly used in the home setting to provide long-term respiratory support for selected patients with chronic type 2 respiratory failure. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) via a mask is usually only required during the main sleep period for the majority of patients, including ...

Home Mechanical Ventilation: An Overview

Annals of the American Thoracic Society, 2016
Prevalence studies have shown heterogeneous use of home mechanical ventilation in different conditions, with a marked increase in uptake especially in users of noninvasive ventilation. Although randomized controlled trials have examined noninvasive ventilation in acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, for weaning from invasive ...

A transition program to adult health services for teenagers receiving long‐term home mechanical ventilation: A longitudinal qualitative study

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2020
Adolescents receiving long‐term home mechanical ventilation (HMV) who survive into adulthood must transition to adult health care services. Lack of transition readiness is reported to result in poor health outcomes.

Health‐related quality of life and developmental outcome of children on home mechanical ventilation in a developing country: A cross‐sectional study

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2020
Provision of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) to children with chronic respiratory insufficiency enhances growth and quality of life. The hypothesis was that health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) and the development of these children were poorer than ...

On becoming dependent on home mechanical ventilation

Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2004
Aim. The aim of this paper is to illuminate meanings of becoming dependent on home mechanical ventilator treatment.Background. People suffering from chronic alveolar hypoventilation and requiring home mechanical ventilation represent a small but increasing group in society, and are some of the most vulnerable individuals with chronic disabilities ...

Current Issues in Home Mechanical Ventilation

Chest, 2007
As modern health care continues to evolve, we expect and are seeing that more sophisticated medical care will be provided outside the traditional acute care environments. Advances in home medical technology, economic pressures, health-care consumerism, and societal changes are all factors playing a role in this evolution.

Home Mechanical Ventilators

2010
A wide variety of patients requires mechanical ventilation; therefore, it is not surprising that numerous ventilators, ventilation modes, and equipment are necessary to select the most appropriate noninvasive ventilation technology for each patient. We voluntarily limited this chapter to positive pressure ventilation modes considering that negative ...
