Ten patients with severe respiratory failure secondary to extensive pulmonary tuberculosis and thoracoplasty have been treated with intermittent negative-pressure ventilation. All recovered and have been followed up for from six months to eight years. Two have died from unrelated causes and six have used some form of breathing aid at home. Negative-pressure ventilation, which is a non-invasive form of respiratory support, offers important benefits in selected cases.
10例因广泛肺结核和胸廓成形术继发严重呼吸衰竭的患者接受了间歇负压通气治疗。所有患者均康复,随访时间为6个月至8年。2例因无关原因死亡,6例在家中使用了某种形式的呼吸辅助设备。负压通气作为一种无创呼吸支持形式,在特定病例中具有重要益处。
