Assistive Communication Device Used During Pediatric Noninvasive Ventilation
The implementation of assistive communication devices can alleviate communication barriers in pediatric bilevel positive airway pressure users, contributing to increased compliance and diminished anxiety for patients and caregivers. Providing a pathway for effective communication may reduce sedation use, minimizing risks of sedation-related delirium and improving overall quality of life in these patients.
