Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Patient-ventilator interaction (synchrony). During minimum of 20 minute period data from the Ventilator are collected, including: - Electrical diaphragmatic activity (Eadi signal) - Flow - pressure - respiratory rate Assessment of patient ventilator interaction is performed offline by analyzing the data after stabilization of NIV. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Patient comfort is assessed by a visual-analgog scale based rating of comfort. Additionally the patients have to answer the following questions: Does the ventilation with the mask make breathing easier? Do you feel difficulties during expiration? Does the ventilator react to fast/slow on? Do get enough/to much air/support Do you have the fealing that the mask looses (to much) air? | — |
