Home Non-Invasive Ventilation in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Survey of Current Practice in Italy
These data highlight substantial differences between LTH-NIV clinical practice for chronic hypercapnic COPD in Italy and current guidelines, suggesting that guideline-mandated processes may not be achievable or sustainable in real-world settings. Involvement of homecare providers and use of telemonitoring could help improve the management of LTH-NIV therapy.
