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.
