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 ...

National registries are needed to reduce variations in care and improve patient safety More than 140 000 critically ill patients are admitted to intensive care in England and Wales each year. Delayed weaning (>14 days) and continued dependence on mechanical ventilation occur in 2-5% of these people. The human and financial costs of this dependence are

Cost–Utility Analysis of Home Mechanical Ventilation in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Healthcare (Switzerland), 2021 Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a disease with rapid progression. The use of mechanical ventilation helps to manage symptoms and delays death. Use in a home environment could reduce costs and increase quality of life.

Mechanical Ventilation in the Home
Critical Care Clinics, 1990Despite advances in the application of mechanical ventilation as a short-term, life-saving technique, intensive care units are increasingly faced with patients who cannot be weaned from ventilatory assistance and who require mechanical ventilation as a long-term, life-supporting necessity.

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1988
Recently, interest in the use of mechanical ventilation outside the hospital setting has been increasing. Patients with various types of chronic respiratory failure may benefit from this approach. Evaluation for long-term mechanical ventilation necessitates assessment of the underlying disease process, the goals of the medical team, and the needs of ...

Pediatric Home Mechanical Ventilation
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1987Infants 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.

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 ...

Home Mechanical Ventilation: An Overview
Annals of the American Thoracic Society, 2016Abstract 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 ...

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 ...

Current Issues in Home Mechanical Ventilation
Chest, 2007As 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.
