Hospital-Provider Company Network for Home Non-Invasive Ventilation: A Feasibility Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT: This study assessed the feasibility of implementing a hybrid hospital-provider company (PC) clinical pathway for patients with chronic respiratory failure (CRF) through the adaptation and follow-up of non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Over a 3-month period, a PC physiotherapist case manager oversaw the adaptation process, making adjustments as necessary, using remote monitoring and home visits. Outcome measures, including the number of patients enrolled, serious adverse events, hospitalizations, survival rates, professional time allocation, NIV adherence, nocturnal apnea-hypopnea, and oxygen saturation, Δ arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO₂), dyspnea, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), exercise tolerance, quality of life, physical activity, and patient satisfaction, we
