At home ventilator

Is anyone using an at home non-invasive ventilator. I am stage 3 severe emphysema.

  1. Hi . Lots of people in this community use CPAP or BiPAP machines at home, depending on their needs. Hopefully, they will chime in here. My husband has used a CPAP machine for 13 years for sleep apnea. It took some getting used to, but now he can't imagine sleeping without it. Here is an article about non-invasive ventilators that might interest you: https://copd.net/living/breathing-machines. I hope this helps. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
