Philips, ResMed tout collaborative home ventilation therapy COPD study results

This study shows that home non-invasive ventilation is a potent, therapeutic tool that clinicians can use to help keep patients with advanced COPD out of the hospital. We hope that this will, in turn, allow them to lead healthier and more active lives at home. These findings add considerably to our knowledge of this highly prevalent and debilitating respiratory disorder, and are expected to greatly influence how clinicians care for patients with COPD on long-term oxygen therapy,” Philips chief medical liaison Dr. Teofilo Lee-Chiong Jr. said in a press release.
“This trial adds decisively to the growing body of evidence supporting the broader use of non-invasive ventilation for patients with COPD. Just knowing NIV can help cut re-hospitalization or death risk in half is a game changer,” ResMed chief medical officer Dr. Carlos Nunez said in a prepared statement.
