To this date, there has never been a major HOME CARE STUDY on any Therapeutic Respirator/Ventilator. Most reviews are Anecdotal. Home Care studies are very difficult if not impossible to assemble in a scientific meaningful format. Several years ago, a new format came out of England called the Saint George profile. A very major ongoing study of "Home Care Patients” using IPV® in Europe, is now underway, with hundreds of HOME CARE IPV® patients entered into a modified "Saint George Format”.
