Implementation of Nasal Non-Invasive Ventilation With a RAM Cannula in the Inpatient /Outpatient Setting
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to implement a standardized protocol to initiate nasal non-invasive ventilation with RAM nasal cannula (NIV/RAM-NC) with Trilogy mechanical ventilator at Children Memorial Hospital inpatient and outpatient sites, as well as to explore the side effects and complications associated with the use of NIV/RAM-NC in children.
