OnAir, with Clinical Respiratory News
Health & Fitness:Medicine
Which factors make a real difference when it comes to keeping NIV patients comfortable, motivated and well cared for at home? In this episode of the OnAir podcast, respiratory expert Dr Jean-Michel Arnal and host Nina Wiklund discuss key issues in the delivery of home NIV, with a particular focus on troubleshooting, telemonitoring and patient engagement.
As an ICU physician and the author of both a popular book1 and a recent article on home ventilation monitoring2, Dr Arnal has a deep interest and extensive experience in this field. He shares insights on using ventilator waveforms to identify common asynchronies, explains why the cycle feature is so important for patient comfort, and argues that our focus on finding data-driven predictors of exacerbation might be causing us to overlook an important low-tech solution.
Listen now for an engaging tour of key topics in home NIV that provides useful insights for NIV experts while remaining accessible to anyone looking to learn more about the subject.
