1 1. Share your experiences of using mechanical ventilation at home We want to find out how people who use a ventilator at home feel about the equipment they use, and the support they receive. If you help a partner or family member to use a ventilator at home you can also fill in this survey. The survey will take 10 minutes to complete. The information from the survey will help healthcare professionals, working with the European Respiratory Society (ERS), to write new high quality standards for doctors to use when prescribing and monitoring home ventilation.
