Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I know how bad ILD is.
ILD is progressive lung disease which cause respiratory failure in terminal stages.
Respiratory failure causes hypoxia (low oxygen) and hypercarbia (high carbon dioxide).
Hypoxia needs oxygen and hypercarbia needs ventilatory support to removes carbon dioxide from body.
Ventilatory support is by two means.
1. Invasive (in hospital)
2. Non Invasive (home care).
Non Invasive Ventilator (NIV) is needed for home based support.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
