  • Title: [Intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) with respirators in home nursing].
    Author: Angehrn U, Wild A, Engelhart G.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1977 Sep 10; 107(36):1254-7. PubMed ID: 21449.
    Abstract:
    29 patients using a home respirator have been studied. Management of the respirator and inhalation were correct in 86%. Bacteriologic contamination in home treatment poses few problems. Blood gases and spirometric lung function tests do not demonstrate amelioration but show stabilization in long term treatment. Costs are high. Nevertheless, this treatment is indicated in certain carefully selected patients. Follow-up checks are essential.
