title: [Current concepts and techniques in home ventilation therapy].
abstract: Home ventilation of spontaneous breathing during wake and chiefly during sleep has gained great importance in the last 10 years by means of noninvasive nasal pressure support ventilation (PSV). Intensive care and weaning has been complemented, or even replaced by this method. Self-adaptive machines are already available for about 2 years. Historical development is outlined, contrasted by the actual procedures, their advantages and disadvantages. Long term therapy implies functional and probably even morphological adaptation of spontaneous control of breathing which is briefly touched, according to recent investigations.
