ABSTRACT
Mechanical ventilation comprises two important sectors 1) the acute application in intensive care medicine and 2) long-term mechanical ventilation, i.e. home mechanical ventilation. Today, based on increasing scientific evidence the approach to mechanical ventilation is highly sophisticated and this is true for both sectors. For this reason, several guidelines have been established in Germany with specific emphasis on mechanical ventilation. In addition, the current development of mechanical ventilation in Germany is influenced by the corona pandemic and also by the economization of the healthcare system. Notably, home mechanical ventilation is steadily increasing, while intensive care unit (ICU) capacities are currently decreasing. The current article focuses on these developments.
