Brief summary

This study aims to describe the patient characteristics, feasibility, and outcomes of an home mechanical ventilation (HMV) program at a university hospital in Thailand.

Detailed description

Data will be collected on all patients who were discharged with HMV between October 2014 and August 2015 at Thammasat University Hospital. Data include sex, age, co-morbid diseases, clinical features, causes of HMV, mechanical ventilator and complimentary equipment characteristics, caregiver characteristics, ventilator and patient care costs, and morbidity and mortality outcomes of patients.
