The patients are admitted for up to 1 week enabling intensive support and ability to adjust management swiftly in response to observations.Aims: 1. To identify patient and parents perceptions of ISUB2. To identify any trends in patients utilising the ISUB.Methods: We conducted a prospective patient/parent survey as part of a service evaluation, gathering feedback on patient experiences of using ISUB to commence or adjust NIV. Patients were given the survey following their inpatient stay. Results of progress at discharge and 3 months were recorded, along with any comments from families.Results: The survey was given to 10 patients, with 4 responses. 2 of these patients (50\%) were previously established and required monitoring during titration. 4 patients (100\%) left fully established (over 4 hours use) on nocturnal NIV. 3 patients (75\%) found the overall experience either good or extremely good (Figure 1).Conclusions: This preliminary data supports the use of a dedicated NIV setup bed for selected patients in order to establish optimal NIV. We were unable to identify any trends in usage/success due to the small numbers, however~we hope to gather further data allowing this analysis in the future.FootnotesCite this article as: ERJ Open Research 2020; 6: Suppl. 4, 50.This is an ERS Respiratory Failure and Mechanical Ventilation Conference abstract.
