[Bright prospects and deplorable state of prolonged home mechanical ventilation in Russia: two cases' description]
Abstract:
The report describes two patients with lateral amyotrophic sclerosis complicated by respiratory insufficiency. Instead of long-term hospitalization to ICU the patients were kept at home, where prolonged mechanical ventilation was applied to them: in the first case - through tracheostomy tube, in the second - through mask. The use of prolonged home mechanical ventilation therapy instead of long-term hospitalization to ICU is discussed.

Ventilatory Modes
There are three ventilatory modes: full support, partial support, and spontaneous. These are described below.
Full Support Modes
Full support modes include controlled mechanical ventilation, continuous mandatory...
