Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
myAirvo 3TM (Fisher & Paykel) is a non-invasive respiratory support that provides flow from 2-60 L/min and delivers heated (up to 38°C) and humidified (100% relative humidity) air via a nasal cannula, with supplemental oxygen as required.
Participants will have an individualised dose of oxygen only as prescribed by their Respiratory Physician and if required.
Participants will be able to use myAirvo 3TM at home. Participants will be advised to use myAirvo 3TM for at least one hour a day for 28 days.
Registered Nurses, Respiratory Physiotherapists, Respiratory Registrars and Physicians, will administer the intervention.
Adherence to the intervention will be monitored remotely via myAirvo 3TM.

Summary
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility, safety, and acceptability of short-term humidified flow therapy (myAirvo 3TM) in people living with respiratory conditions in the SESLHD community. The hypothesis is that myAirvo 3 is feasible, safe and acceptable to be used in the community and will assist sputum burden and/or breathlessness.
