An eight-year follow-up study of Home Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Finland
HIMV is a rare treatment in Finland, and based on our 8-year follow-up, prevalence of HIMV is diminishing. Given the high demands, and significant costs associated with HIMV, it is essential to prepare for long treatment, when planning HIMV. It is also advisable to prolong non-invasive ventilation (NIV) treatments for as long as possible.
