Health and social issues in patients ventilated at home
 FENEŠOVÁ, Lucia
An outstanding progress in pulmonary ventilation was documented recently when artificial pulmonary ventilation was introduced for home care. In-home pulmonary ventilation is meant for patients who suffer from serious progressive diseases. In most cases, such state is irreversible and obstructs patient`s ability to breathe consciously. Those patients benefit a lot from the newly introduced ventilation. It helps them live a regular life in natural background for a few more years. The target of the thesis was to identify the most frequent health and social issues in patients ventilated at home; to determine advantages of home care and possible risks in ventilated patients; and to elaborate a nursing standard to be followed when taking care of ventilated patients at their homes. The qualitative research was carried out by means of two half-structured interviews. One interview was made with 5 pre-selected nurses working for a home-care agency; the other interview was made in the same agency with 5 patients on artificial pulmonary ventilation that are looked after by the same agency. The outcome of the interviews is that the most frequent health problem in ventilated patients reported both by patients and nurses is obstruction of tracheostomic cannula. Another finding was that ventilated patients do not feel socially isolated which is in total contradiction to what the nurses claimed. The interviews taken with the patients showed that in-home care benefits mainly from the fact that the patients are at home, and the risk of receiving home care is that such care is dependant basically on one person and is time consuming. The objectives of the thesis have been met. The outcomes of the research will be made available to the company named Home health-care services Eva Šafránková, which was the venue of the research. The nursing standard can be used as a source of additional information for ventilated patients and to improve care provided to patients ventilated at their homes. It is recommended that nurses should further educate themselves in pulmonary ventilation. Training seems to be an appropriate solution in this case. Nurses would certainly also benefit from a visit to a place providing artificial pulmonary ventilation. Another recommendation is to carry out a follow-up research that would observe advantages of artificial pulmonary ventilation provided at home compared with benefits of artificial pulmonary ventilation provided in health care centres.
