Typically estimated values are available for; tidal volume (Vt), leak, respiratory rate, minute ventilation, patient triggered breaths, achieved pressures and patient compliance. Data are downloaded into manufacturers' software, allowing clinicians to review the information.Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of ventilator data downloads on management of patients receiving domiciliary NIV.Methods: As part of a service redesign, a cohort of existing domiciliary NIV patients were reviewed between December '14 and April '15. All patients were using a Philips Respironics Harmony or Synchrony ventilator. Data downloads had not previously been examined. Data were reviewed in Philips Respironics EncoreAnywhere data management system. Adjustments were made to patients' ventilation prescription to optimise ventilation, minimise leak and optimise compliance. Values for leak, Vt and compliance were collected retrospectively at patients' first review and 6 weeks later.Results: Data were collected for 52 patients. Results are presented in table 1. as median(IQR). View this table:TABLE 1 Conclusion: In this study, using ventilator data downloads facilitated optimisation of ventilation and improved compliance. Employing ventilator data can have a clinically significant impact on patients' outcome. ER -
