Home mechanical ventilation as a treatment of the sequelae of tuberculosis surgery
1999
: Nasal intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has been showed useful for the treatment of chronic respiratory failure in patients with chest wall diseases due to sequelae of tuberculosis. We present a report of a patient with a thoracoplasty and a cavernostomy in situation of chronic respiratory failure. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation improved diurnal hypoxaemia and hypercapnia.
