Implementation of Nasal High Flow Therapy: A Remote Context (Old ID 26432)
Role
Principal Investigator
Description
The aim of the research is to evaluate implementation of nasal high flow (NHF) therapy with infants with bronchiolitis in the remote context. A two-phased approach will be employed: Firsty, an expert working party establishing agreed safe clinicial boundaries for the NHF therapy implementation and utilising expert viewpoints for implementation when managing infants with bronchiolitis. Secondarily, a comparison of the outcomes before and after implementation to observe a reduction in escalation of care leading to reduced transfers. A community engagement process, with the focus to keep community members in their country/community environment, will be established to measure psychological, social-emotional and economic benefits of NHF.
