Study population: All hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilation.

Brief summary: This study aims to describe the patient characteristics, feasibility, and outcomes of an home mechanical ventilation (HMV) program at a university hospital in Thailand.

Detailed description: Data will be collected on all patients who were discharged with HMV between October 2014 and August 2015 at Thammasat University Hospital. Data include sex, age, co-morbid diseases, clinical features, causes of HMV, mechanical ventilator and complimentary equipment characteristics, caregiver characteristics, ventilator and patient care costs, and morbidity and mortality outcomes of patients.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* All hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilation aged 18 or more years.

Exclusion Criteria:

* None.

Primary outcomes:
measure: Mortality rate of HMV patients
timeFrame: Up to 1 year
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Healthcare home visit
timeFrame: Up to 1 year
