Popis: Introduction: Number of patients treated with home mechanical ventilation is increasing. Reliability of home ventilators is unknown. Primary objective of our work was to report the annual incidence of ventilator related incidents. Secondary objectives were to describe the incidents, how and when they happened and to report the outcome of hospitalisation induced by ventilator failure in a subgroup population. Methods: Prospective nationwide database held by the ANTADIR collecting all incidents occurring on home ventilators managed by 25 healthcare providers from 2003 to 2017. Results: Forty thousand four hundred and forty-five ventilators were bought by the ANTADIR. Nine hundred twenty-nine ventilator associated incidents were reported. Incidents were classified as severe (n:45, 5.8%), moderate (n:105, 11.3%) or mild (n:779, 82.9%). Incident annual incidence rate was 0.47% per year [0.39 – 0.61]. Severe incidents were more likely to occur on life support ventilators: RR: 5.94 [95%CI: 4.83 to 7.30] (p Conclusion: Home ventilators are reliable devices but need regular follow-up.
