Doctors' humidification habits during breathing support revealed in global survey
NCT ID NCT06888375
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study surveyed 534 physicians worldwide to understand how they use humidification (adding moisture to air) when treating hospitalized adults with non-invasive ventilation (breathing support through a mask). The goal was to find out how often humidification is used, what types are chosen, and why some doctors skip it. The results help identify gaps between current practice and available evidence.
