Home mechanical ventilation in Hong Kong [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2003
Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is increasingly used to treat chronic respiratory failure. This present study was aimed to examine the trend, the disease categories treated and the outcomes of HMV use in Hong Kong.In the year 2002, all adult respiratory units in Hong Kong were invited to report to a multicentre retrospective survey of HMV use.
