Mechanical Ventilation: Long-Term Invasive at Home (Respiratory Therapy)
Mechanical Ventilation: Long-Term Invasive at Home (Respiratory Therapy) ALERT A patient who is in immediate need of an acute care setting is not a candidate for in-home ventilatory support. Other contraindications include unstable cardiac and respiratory status or an unstable or inadequate home setting without competent family members who are always available. A patient who requires a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) setting above 10 cm H2O or who has a fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) requirement of more than 0.4 (40%) is not a candidate for long-term invasive mechanical ventilation in the home.1 Every respiratory therapist (RT) and home health practitioner must be familiar with state, Medicare, and Medicaid guidelines for providing care to a patient receiving home mechanical ventilation because guidelines may vary among states. OVERVIEW Mechanical ventilation is a life-support system used to support or control ventilatory lung function. Patients who become ventilator dependent exhibit an imbalance of ventilatory capacity and demand. Levels of ventilator support range from assisting the patient’s work of breathing to controlling all of the patient’s ventilatory effort. Most patients receiving long- term invasive ventilatory support have a tracheostomy tube in place to enable ventilator support, but they no longer require intensive monitoring.1 Long-term invasive mechanical ventilation provides mechanical ventilator assistance to patients who have been diagnosed with chronic respiratory illnesses or respiratory insufficiency. Patients who may benefit from a long-term home ventilator are limited to those who cannot be completely weaned from invasive ventilator support and those who have a disease progression that requires increasing ventilator support.

2014 AA Policy Paper
Nova Scotia College of Respiratory Therapists Policy Statement on Anesthesia Assistant Role 2014 Introduction Anesthesia Assistant (AA) is a job title assigned to specially trained healthcare professionals who participate in the care of the patient during general, regional, or procedural sedation anesthesia through medical directives1 under the supervision of the anesthesiologist. The Nova Scotia College of Respiratory Therapists (NSCRT) is of the position that the role of Anesthesia Assistants (AA), as defined in the 2006 Canadian Anesthesiologists Society (CAS) Position Paper on Anesthesia Assistants2, falls within the scope of practice of Respiratory Therapy3. Respiratory Therapists education provides entry level competencies related to assisting with anesthesia. However, the role of Anesthesia Assistant requires additional education and clinical training to further develop specific competencies required to fulfill the role. The NSCRT supports the role of anesthesia assistants within the anesthesia care team as being in the public’s best interest as it is a means to enhance safe and efficient anesthetic care. We encourage compliance with the CAS 2013 Guidelines to the Practice of Anesthesia.6 "The health care facility must ensure that ancillary personnel are available as assistants to the anesthesiologist. Such assistants must be available at all times and places where anesthesia services are provided. It is preferred that a facility will have a formally designated ‘‘Anesthesia Assistant’’ (AA)." Purpose The purpose of this policy statement is to guide respiratory therapists’ employers and health agencies so as to ensure that individuals hired to fulfill the role of anesthesia assistants meet the criteria defined herein. History For several decades, RRT’s have worked alongside anesthesiologists in operating rooms.
