Pulmonary function

Invasive ventilation usage CR  PR  longitudinal 

Specifies whether the individual is currently using or has ever used invasive ventilation due to their neuromuscular condition over a period of two weeks or more. If the value is Currently, Previously, or Sometime, one or more instances of the record Invasive ventilation episode should be provided to specify details.

Invasive ventilation (IV) is surgery that creates an opening in the windpipe which allows breathing through a tracheostomy tube rather than through the nose and mouth.

Item type: single selection

Value ID Description
Currently

This is currently the case

This has previously been the case, but is not currently

Never

This has never been the case, neither previously nor currently

Sometime

This has been the case at some time, but it is unknown whether it is currently the case

Not currently

This is currently not the case, but it is unknown whether it has previously been the case

Record

Invasive ventilation episode CR  PR    episode   

Episode that describes current or previous usage of invasive ventilation due to the individual's neuromuscular condition. Only periods of two weeks or more are to be added.

Invasive ventilation duration CR  PR 
Item type: single selection
Usage in other datasets: SMASMADMDDMD
Value ID Description
Full-time

Full-time (the individual uses ventilation of the respective type for 16 hours or more per 24 hours)

Part-time awake and sleeping

Part-time, awake and sleeping (the individual uses ventilation of the respective type while awake and while sleeping, or only while awake, with a total duration of less than 16 hours per 24 hours)

Part-time sleeping

Part-time, only while sleeping (the individual uses ventilation of the respective type only while sleeping)

Non-invasive ventilation usage CR  PR  longitudinal 

Specifies whether the individual is currently using or has ever used non-invasive ventilation due to their neuromuscular condition over a period of two weeks or more. If the value is Currently, Previously, or Sometime, one or more instances of the record Non-invasive ventilation episode should be provided to specify details.

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) uses airway support which is administered through a nose or face mask.

Record

Pulmonary function test result CR         

At baseline, the result of the most recent test must be collected; at updates, the result of every test since the previous update must be collected.

Pulmonary function test date CR 

Date of the pulmonary function test in which the results specified in this record instance were obtained.
