Objective
Chronic respiratory failure (CRF) affects many of the citizens of Europe particularly the aged. The management of these cases is increasingly expensive. In the USA home respiratory ventilators (HRV) are commonly adopted as a technology contributing to less dependency and greater patient empowerment of those with CRF. In Europe this is a practice moderately well developed in a few countries but richweed variations in custom and practice. Against this background, as part of a Concerted Action, it is proposed to carry out a survey in sixteen European States and, on the basis of the information gleaned, if warranted, to move towards better standardisation of HRV practice. The long-term aim, in addition to reducing health care costs, will be to create an advisory authority with the capacity to monitor usage and if warranted arrange clinical trials. The project will be carried out with the active assistance of the European Respiratory Society
