    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Healthcare Management
    • Patient Care

    Background:

    • Home mechanical ventilation enables patient discharge using portable devices.
    • Successful home discharge planning involves a comprehensive multidisciplinary team.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the essential components and team roles in planning for home mechanical ventilation discharge.
    • To highlight factors critical for a successful transition of care from hospital to home.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessment initiated by a multidisciplinary team including nurses, physicians, therapists, and suppliers.
    • Development and implementation of a patient teaching plan over at least two weeks.
    • Involvement of home caregivers in providing patient care prior to discharge.

    Main Results:

    • A multidisciplinary team approach is fundamental for home mechanical ventilation discharge.
    • Family involvement and a robust care plan are key to successful transitions.
    • Home health agencies and durable medical equipment suppliers facilitate the care transition.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective discharge planning for home mechanical ventilation hinges on team collaboration and family engagement.
    • Adequate patient and caregiver education is vital for managing ventilation at home.
    • Extended care facilities serve as an alternative for patients not suitable for home discharge.
