Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • 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.

Who cannot join

  • 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

About this study

Official title: Exploring the Experiences and Views of Patients, Their Carers' and Health Care Providers on the Use of Modems in Managing Patients Receiving Domiciliary Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV): a Qualitative Study

Advances in technology has meant that domiciliary non-invasive (NIV) devices can be remotely monitored via modems in patients' homes. Possible benefits and challenges of modem technology have yet to be established. This study explored the perspectives and experiences of patients, their carers' and health care professionals (HCPs) on the addition of modem technology in managing home NIV patients.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to consider the opinions of patients, their carers' and health care providers on the addition of using modem technology in the management of patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure receiving domiciliary NIV.

Objectives

  1. To investigate the experience of patients receiving domiciliary NIV with modem technology and how this compares to NIV treatment without a modem
  2. To investigate the experience of carers' of patients receiving domiciliary NIV with modem technology and how this compares to NIV treatment without a modem
  3. To gain opinions of health care providers on the use of modem technology in caring for patient with ventilatory failure and how this compares to delivering home NIV treatment without a modem 4.2 Outcome The outcome of this study will inform future service development of home NIV services to ensure they are designed with service users' preferences in mind.
