Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Respiratory Care

Background:

  • Home ventilation has expanded significantly since the 1990s, driven by noninvasive ventilation (NIV) advancements.
  • Noninvasive ventilation is increasingly used in diverse patient populations, surpassing invasive methods in home settings.
  • Significant variations in home ventilation practices exist across European countries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state and applications of home ventilation, focusing on noninvasive techniques.
  • To examine the benefits of home ventilation in different patient groups, including neuromuscular diseases and COPD.
  • To discuss controversies and subgroup benefits in COPD home ventilation and pediatric applications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and multicentric randomized controlled trials.

  • Analysis of evidence for nocturnal NIV in chest wall and neuromuscular diseases.
  • Examination of mixed results from COPD home ventilation trials.

    • Main Results:

    • Overwhelming evidence supports nocturnal NIV for chest wall and stable neuromuscular diseases.
    • Home ventilation prolongs life and improves quality of life for progressive neuromuscular diseases.
    • Benefits of home ventilation in COPD are controversial, but specific subgroups may benefit.

    Conclusions:

    • Noninvasive ventilation is effective for various conditions, including pediatric cases.
    • Pressure preset bilevel ventilators are dominant in both adult and pediatric home ventilation.
    • Effective discharge planning and risk management are crucial for home ventilator patients.
