Abstract
A special five bed unit for the care of patients requiring tracheostomy and prolonged artificial ventilation was established at the Massachusetts General Hospital in 1961. More than 300 patients have been treated in this unit. This experience is the background for a discussion of the complex problems of choosing the type and pattern of ventilation, insuring adequate oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination, and preventing and treating complications.Keywords
