Summary

Monocenter study to determine and evaluate the optimal amount of humidification doses delivered by the On-Demand humidification system in neuromuscular patients requiring home mechanical ventilation. The patient's perception will be monitored with subjective as well as with objective measurements of the optimum comfortable on-demand humidification doses.

Conditions

• Neuromuscular Diseases

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	On Demand Humidification system Mark 2	The on demand humidification humidifier is set up to alternate between periods of humidification and no humidification totaling 6 periods of 30 minutes duration each. Thus, the test will consist of 3 cycles of disabled humidification and enabled humidification. Each cycle will be with a different humidification setting to assess which setting is most comfortable. In the second phase, the patient will be treated with the dose they had the best experience with in the first test.
