Using Telemedicine to Monitor the Patient with Chronic Respiratory Failure

<b>Background</b>: Advances in management have improved mortality of individuals with chronic respiratory failure (CRF), leading to an increase in need for long-term oxygen therapy and/or ventilatory support. These individuals require frequent visits and monitoring of their physiological...
