Essential information

Long-term ventilation (LTV) refers to various types of respiratory support provided every day for a period of at least three months. Ventilation is delivered either via a tracheostomy tube, or noninvasively via face mask or nasal cannula. The aim is to improve survival and quality of life in people with conditions that have led to respiratory failure.
