Installation of Non-invasive Ventilation at Home Using Telemedicine : a Pilot Study on Feasibility and Impact on Ventilation Compliance

France20 participantsStarted 2015-01

Plain-language summary

Neuromuscular diseases are frequently associated with respiratory failure, which requires Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV). Currently, the NIV installation is done during an hospitalization of several days. This hospitalization is problematic because of availability of beds, logistical difficulties for the patient and estrangement from the usual environment. For this reasons, the NIV installation at home could be an interesting alternative for both the patient and the medical staff. The aim of this pilot study is to test the feasibility of NIV installation at home, using telemedicine as a remote monitoring tool, and to assess its impact on the ventilation compliance.
