Abstract

A 67-year-old patient with pulmonary tuberculosis sequela had undergone a tracheostomy. The patient was receiving nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation and the stoma failed to close. Temporary use of chest negative pressure ventilation facilitated closure of the stoma and probably shortened the patient's hospital stay. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation at home was begun safely and effectively.
