Better breathing support education for ICU patients
Part of Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a special education program about how breathing machines work can help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) feel better and recover faster. If you are on a breathing support mask (NIV), this program may teach you ways to work better with the machine.
