Summary/Abstract: Introduction: In this thesis I want to refer to the current problem of the patients, who are dependent on the respiration machine for life, most commonly patients with degenerative neurological diseases. After the treatment, rehabilitation and the clinical stabilization, these patients are sent home and after a short period of time their relatives are tired and seek help. The pressure is developed on the beds in ICU of the Anesthesiology and emergency medicine ward. However the ward has a problem to lay all of the recently resuscitated patients and cannot accomodate stabilized patients with a need for artificial respiratory support. Methods and Material: We would like to point out the current problem in Slovakia, which concerns patients of the respiratory apparatus with the lifelong dependancy. There is no place where they would be adequately treated at least during the time when the relatives need a break. We reached out to the public to find out their knowledge about the problem and then we statistically evaluated the outcome.
