Life-dependent Home Mechanical Ventilation

• Conditions: Ventilator Lung

• Registration Number: NCT06151886
• Lead Sponsor: Rigshospitalet, Denmark

Brief Summary

In Denmark, life-dependent home-mechanical ventilation (HMV) is given under the surveillance of a specifically trained respiratory patient caregiver (tPCG). The HMV can be invasive through a tracheostomy or non-invasive via a mask.

The purpose of this study is to uncover experiences and challenges associated with having a trained respiratory patient care giver (tPCG) to surveil home-mechanical ventilation (HMV) from the perspective of the patients and their families and to gather information about the expirence of working in a home as a tPCG
