Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Home non-invasive ventilators are daily used by patients with chronic respiratory failure. There are frequently used with warming and humidifying systems. These systems need to be cared for and frequently washed by the patient.

The aim of this study is to evaluate if the humidifying system of home ventilators are colonized by microbiological germs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The use of non-invasive ventilators is common for treating respiratory failure. Their care relies on the patients and their carers.

No study has assessed the efficacy of such care with respect to the number of microbiological specimens that remain in the humidifier.
