Abstract :
Patients who use home-based medical technologies, such as noninvasive intermittent ventilatory support, may require hospitalization on units where the staff is unfamiliar with this type of equipment. Consequently, acute care clinicians need resources so they can provide safe care to these patients. This article provides background information about noninvasive intermittent ventilatory support, presents a case study to illustrate key aspects of each type of support, and provides quick reference tables to assist acute care clinicians in managing this technology.
