    Area of Science:

    • Medical Technology
    • Pulmonology
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Patients requiring mechanical ventilatory support may not be weanable, necessitating long-term care solutions.
    • Continuous ventilatory support is often associated with high healthcare costs in hospital settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of providing continuous home ventilatory care.
    • To present case studies illustrating successful home-based mechanical ventilation management.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of two patient cases requiring long-term mechanical ventilation.
    • Analysis of cost comparison between home care and hospital care.
    • Discussion of factors influencing the decision for home ventilatory support.

    Main Results:

    • Home ventilatory care was demonstrated to be less expensive than inpatient hospital care for the presented cases.
    • Successful home care requires thorough patient assessment, including drug therapy and psychosocial factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Continuous home ventilatory care is a viable and cost-effective option for select patients.
    • Effective home care necessitates individualized equipment selection, meticulous preparation, patient education, and ongoing multidisciplinary team support.
