Abstract

Mechanical home ventilation, especially noninvasive, is a form of treatment of chronic respirator failure, which is not widespread in Poland. By diminishing the respiratory muscle fatigue, this way of treatment increases ventilatory efficiency, ameliorates the life comfort and allows, in many cases, to shift the care of chronic patient from hospital to home environment. Different aspects of home ventilation were discussed: indications, forms of management and complications.
