Clinical Trial: Respiratory Therapist-Supported Home Noninvasive Ventilation in Stable Severe COPD Without Hypercapnia

U.S., Aug. 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07777497) titled 'Respiratory Therapist-Supported Home Noninvasive Ventilation in Stable Severe COPD Without Hypercapnia' on Aug. 12.

Brief Summary: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can cause persistent breathing problems, reduced exercise capacity, and repeated worsening of symptoms. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) provides breathing support through a mask. Although NIV is commonly used in patients with respiratory failure, its role in patients with stable severe COPD without hypercapnia is less clear.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a respiratory therapist-supported home NIV program and to explore its potenti...
