  • Title: [Problems raised by the technique and supervision of home ventilation of chronic respiratory insufficient patients (author's transl)].
    Author: Cardinaud JP, Castaing Y, Favarel-Guarrigues JC, Castaing R.
    Journal: Rev Fr Mal Respir; 1979; 7(4):363-9. PubMed ID: 398554.
    Abstract:
    The effectiveness of assisted ventilation at home, especially in the case of tracheostomized patients, has been nearly established at the present time. The experience of various centers in France, having or not the support of an independent structured organization, shows that the setting-up and supervision of such therapy can be effectively carried out. Nevertheless, difficult choices remain. Some indications are still questionable, such as the choice of the respirator if the patient has not been tracheostomized. The type of organization is not univocal and could perhaps depend on the number of patients to be cared for. In any case, in the years to come, the experience of the different teams and the technical progress made will lead to a solution to the problems raised: a decrease in the number of hospitalizations and more comfort for the patients can be hoped for.
