Good candidates for home mechanical ventilation include (1) patients unable to maintain ade-quate ventilation over prolonged periods (noninvasive nocturnal or intermittent use in particular), (2) patients requiring continuous mechanical ventilation for long-term survival, and (3) patients who are terminally ill with short life expectancies. Table 56-5 provides more detailed profiles of these patient groups.
