Non-invasive Ventilator Modems: a Qualitative Study
Ventilatory Failure
About this trial
This is an interventional other trial for Ventilatory Failure focused on measuring Technology, Modems, Qualitative Research
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients and carers •Patients and their carers who received treatment from the Royal Free London (RFL) domiciliary NIV service both pre and post modem installation will be eligible to be included in the study.
HCPs
•Staff who have experience of looking after patients with NIV both with and without modems will be able to take part in the study. Staff recruited will be currently working at RFL. We have been using modems for all of our patients with NIV since December 2014. Therefore rotational staff (e.g. registrars) working RFL will only have experience of looking after patients with modems on their NIV. To allow for this factor staff will be allowed to join the study even if their experience of looking after patients with NIV without modems is at other hospitals.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients under the care of the RFL domiciliary NIV service who have only had experience of treatment with a modem in situ will be excluded from the study.
- Patients who are unable to verbally communicate
- Patients who cannot have an "everyday" level conversation in English
