ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Studies on long-term invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) via tracheostomy in chronic respiratory insufficiency are limited. The aim of this study was to clarify the use of HIMV (home invasive mechanical ventilation) within the Finnish population and to analyze the characteristics and survival rate of HIMV patients from 2015 to 2022.

METHODS:

Data on HIMV patients was collected annually from all Finnish Hospital District patient registries between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2022. Data included basic demographic data of the patients, underlying diagnosis, time from diagnosis to HIMV initiation, treatment duration, and mortality.

RESULTS:

This study included 179 patients. In 2015, there were 107 HIMV patients, and as of December 31, 2022, there were 95 patients. During the eight-year follow-up period, 84 patients (46.9%) died and there were 67 new patients between 2015 and2022. The prevalence of HIMV treatment in Finland was 2.4/100,000 on January 1,2015, and 1.8/ 100 000 on December 31, 2022. The average number of years living with HIMV for deceased patients at death was 10.1 ± 10.5 years largely depending on the underlying diagnosis. Of all the HIMV treatments, 32% were elective.

CONCLUSIONS:

HIMV is a rare treatment in Finland, and based on our 8-year follow-up, prevalence of HIMV is diminishing. Given the high demands, and significant costs associated with HIMV, it is essential to prepare for long treatment, when planning HIMV. It is also advisable to prolong non-invasive ventilation (NIV) treatments for as long as possible.
