Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

Abstract

The prevalence rate of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) has increased considerably in Europe in recent years, both for invasive ventilation and noninvasive ventilation (NIV), with differences between countries and regions of the European Union. National public health systems contract private companies for the supply and maintenance of ventilators, with varying degrees of integration with hospital medical teams. There is great variability in the organization of HMV programs between countries and regions in Europe. There are home-start adaptation HMV programs that appear to be just as effective and less costly than those started in a hospital setting. Technological progress in recent years has made it possible to increase home monitoring of patients on NIV, being able to remotely monitor compliance and performance of a ventilator without the patient having to go to a hospital, creating new HMV programs that avoid unnecessary hospital visits, detect exacerbations early, and reduce the cost of financing HMV programs.
