Brief Summary

To date, the practice pattern of humidification during Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) is unknown. This study aims to assess the practice pattern of physicians regarding humidification use in hospitalized adult patients on NIV. This study will recognize the gaps between current practice and available evidence. Primary Objective: (a) Prevalence of Humidification use and their types Secondary Objective:

1. 1.Reasons for not using humidification
2. 2.Reasons for choosing a specific humidification device

Conditions

Acute Respiratory Disease; Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV)

Keywords

NIV; Humidification; Acute respiratory failure

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Humidification utilization rate and their types

  Humidification utilization rate will be calculated by a total number of respondents using humidification during NIV in patients with acute respiratory failure divided by a total number of respondents involved in managing patients of acute respiratory failure on NIV. Details will also be collected regarding the type of humidification type (Heated humidifier or Heat Moisture Exchange (HME)).

  six months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Reasons for not using humidification

  six months

• Reasons for choosing a specific humidification device

  six months
