Telemonitoring Utility in the Process of Adaptation to Home Mechanical Ventilation (HMV)

This clinical trial examines whether adding daily telemonitoring — remote review of breathing machine data by a medical team — helps patients adapt more successfully to home mechanical ventilation (a breathing machine used overnight for people with serious breathing failure). Ventilator settings are often difficult to get right, and telemonitoring could allow faster adjustments compared to standard follow-up. Adults with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (too much CO2 in the blood) who are starting home mechanical ventilation and require a specific ventilation mode (spontaneous-timed) are eligible. Participation involves being randomly assigned to either standard follow-up or daily telemonitoring for about four weeks after starting the home ventilator, with data collected on breathing improvement, adherence, and hospital visits. This summary was generated with AI assistance and is intended to help patients understand the study in plain language.
