Telemedicine and Ventilator Titration in Chronic Respiratory Patients Initiating Non-invasive Ventilation

NCT01560741 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 128

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The critical nature of respiratory diseases, the continuously increasing prevalence of these conditions, and the subjective perception of patients vis-à-vis their pulmonary function and health status underscore the importance of home telemonitoring. These conditions are critical and necessitate close and regular monitoring that may be achieved at distance using telemonitoring. This study will assess a number of measures both at baseline and post-intervention from a number of domains, including Arterial Blood Gases (ABG), BiPAP-related data, chronic respiratory failure symptoms, health-related quality of life, patients satisfaction and utilization of healthcare resources.
