ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how doctors use humidification for patients who are receiving Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) while hospitalized due to acute respiratory issues. Humidification is important because it helps to keep the air moist, which can make breathing easier for patients. The goal of the study is to find out how often humidification is used, which types are used, and to understand why some doctors might choose not to use it or prefer certain devices over others. This information will help identify any gaps between what is currently done in hospitals and what research suggests is best for patient care.

To participate in this trial, doctors who work with adult patients experiencing breathing difficulties and who use NIV can take part. However, those who do not want to give their consent or who do not use NIV will not be included. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but once it begins, doctors can expect to share their experiences and practices regarding humidification in NIV, contributing valuable insights that could improve patient care in the future.
