    Document: Moving across the spectrum of long term ventilation (Roger Goldstein) References to mechanical ventilation are found in the writings of Hippocrates (460-375 BC) and Paracelsus (1493-1541). However, since the 20 th century, long term mechanical ventilation (LTMV) has become important in the management of two overlapping groups of patients; those who have recovered from an acute episode of respiratory failure but who require ongoing ventilatory support despite being clinically stable and those who require ventilation electively to avoid the requirement for urgent ventilation. Added to the above, is the increased awareness of the value of a rehabilitative focus, to enhance function and improve autonomy of the ventilator assisted individual (VAI) in a non ICU environment.
