Conditions

Which conditions might benefit from HMV?

These are conditions that damage the lungs which include:

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Cystic Fibrosis (CF)

Or conditions that restrict the movement of air in and out of the body such as:

• Kyphoscoliosis
• Motor Neurone Disease (MND)
• Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
• Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS)

In addition, patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) in combination with an additional condition, may have an HMV device programmed to treat both conditions.
