Discharge Planning for Patients Who Need Home Mechanical Ventilation: A Case Study
Keywords:
respiratory care nurse, discharge planning, home mechanical ventilatorAbstract
Patients with chronic respiratory failure who require mechanical ventilation need a discharge plan to reduce hospital stay duration. Respiratory care nurses, who specialize in caring for this group of patients, collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to develop a discharge plan that ensures continuity of care across all phases: the acute phase, the transitional phase, and the continuing phase. The objective of this article is to describe nursing care and integrate the role of respiratory care nurses during the continuing phase of care. The article also applies the discharge planning concept, utilizing a discharge planning program for patients with chronic respiratory failure who use home mechanical ventilation.
