The need for continuous home ventilatory care can arise when patients who are otherwise stable cannot be weaned from mechanical ventilatory support. Two cases are presented that show these patients can be cared for at home at a cost less than their care in the hospital. Before deciding on home ventilatory care for a patient, one should carefully consider all supportive measures, including drug therapy and psychosocial factors. The choice of home care equipment depends on many individualized considerations. The successful management of a patient on a home ventilator requires careful preparation, extensive home instruction, and continued follow-up by a home health care team.
当原本病情稳定的患者无法撤掉机械通气支持时，就会产生持续家庭通气护理的需求。本文介绍了两个案例，表明这些患者可以在家中得到护理，费用低于在医院的护理费用。在决定为患者提供家庭通气护理之前，应仔细考虑所有支持措施，包括药物治疗和社会心理因素。家庭护理设备的选择取决于许多个体化因素。成功管理在家使用呼吸机的患者需要精心准备、广泛的家庭指导以及家庭医疗团队的持续随访。
