ABSTRACT
A patient of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with cor-pulmonale and chronic respiratory failure, who was given intermittent positive pressure ventilation at home, is reported. The patient did remarkably well on home mechanical ventilatory support. We believe this to be the first case report of domiciliary mechanical ventilation in a patient of COPD from India.
