초록

목 적 : 급성 호흡부전증, 호흡중추장애, 신경근 질환 등으로 인한 만성 호흡부전 환자들이 가정용 인공 호흡기의 도입으로 가정에서 기계 환기를 받을 수 있게 되어 생명을 연장시키고, 삶의 질을 향상시킬 수 있어 그 사용하는 예가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 이에 대한 임상자료가 거의 없어 저자들은 인공 호흡기를 장착한 환아들을 대상으로 임상실태를 조사하였다. 방 법 : 1997년부터 2003년까지 서울아산병원 소아 중환자실에 입원 후 가정용 인공 호흡기를 장착한 21명의 환아들을 대상으로 하여 후향적으로 의무기록을 분석하고 전화면담을 시행하였다. 결 과 : 대상 환아들은 21명으로 남아 15명, 여아 6명이었다. 인공 호흡기를 장착하였을 때 중간 연령은 31개월(범위 : 2-150개월)이었으며, 호흡기를 장착한 중간 기간은 25개월(범위 : 2-68개월)이었다. 환아들의 원인 질환으로는 호흡중추장애를 포함한 신경근 질환이 16례, 급성 호흡곤란을 포함한 폐질환이 4례, 유전성 대사질환이 1례였다. 인공 호흡기 양식은 압력 조절 양식이 16례(76%), 용적 조절 양식이 5례(24%), 산소가 필요한 경우는 13례(62%)였고, 인공 호흡기를 조금이라도 이탈할 수 있었던 경우는 3례(14%)였다. 기계고장은 19개월마다 1회 발생하였고, 인공 호흡기 장착 후 평균 입원 횟수는 매년 1.7회, 그 원인으로는 폐렴(68%)이 가장 많았다. 추적 관찰한 결과 사망한 환아는 9명(43%)이었고, 사망원인은 기관지 튜브 폐쇄가 4례였다. 인공 호흡기 대여, 산소발생기, 영양식, 진찰 및 치료비용 등을 포함한 모든 의료비용은 월간 평균 111만원이었다. 결 론 : 최근 가정용 인공 호흡기 사용이 증가하고 있으며, 사망원인으로 기관지 튜브 폐쇄가 많아 주의 및 관리를 필요로 하고 인공 호흡기를 장착한 가정에 경제적 어려움이 있어 사회적 관심과 제도적 지원이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose : The use of mechanically-assisted ventilators at home reduces morbidity and improves the quality of life in children with chronic respiratory failure. But in Korea there is no clinical data of children with home mechanical ventilation. We investigated ventilator types, duration, the causes of failure or death, and the cost needed for care. Methods : We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 21 children who were admitted and who applied for home mechanical ventilation at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Asan Medical Center. Phone interviews took place after discharge. and interviewed by phone after discharge. Results : The median age was 31 months; the median duration with ventilator was 25 months. Underlying diseases were 16 neuromuscular diseases, one metabolic disease and four chronic respiratory diseases. The types of ventilator were pressure and volume type(16 and five patients, respectively). The frequency of ventilation failure was once per 19 months. Weaning could be performed in three cases. Frequencies of admission after receiving ventilators were 1.7 times per year; the most common cause was pneumonia. Nine patients(43%) died; four of them died because of endotracheal tube obstruction. The costs for medical care were about 1,110,000 won per month. Conclusion : There is an increment in the numbers of individuals who need mechanical ventilation support. The most common cause of death was endotracheal tube obstruction. The most important problem for the patients was medical cost. There needs to be more interest in patients with ventilator and social welfare systems to support their families need to be prepared.
