Study Summary

Comparison of respiratory outcomes in patients receiving telemedicine-guided remote pulmonary function testing (rPFT) with or without the additional support of nurse coaching. This is a randomized controlled study which assesses the effects rPFT and coaching on respiratory outcomes and quality of life.

Primary Outcome

NIV is typically prescribed when an individual demonstrates signs of respiratory failure. In this study, forced vital capacity (FVC) of 50% or less of the predicted value serves as a surrogate for respiratory failure and constitutes identification of NIV need. First date of remote measurement of FVC 50% or less of the predicted value is reported here.

Interventions

  • DEVICE remote pulmonary function testing
  • DEVICE standard pulmonary function testing
  • BEHAVIORAL Nurse Respiratory Health Coaching (NRHC)
