KAP Asynchrony Survey (KAPA)

November 14, 2023 updated by: University of Sao Paulo General Hospital

Knowledge, Attitudes And Practices Among Critical Care Professionals Towards Patient-Ventilator Asynchrony

The investigators developed a web-based survey to assess knowledge, attitudes and practice of health care professionals about patient-ventilator asynchrony.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The investigators developed a survey, consisting of 25 multiple choice questions, and including snapshots of mechanical ventilator waveforms to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practice of physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists working in the ICU and caring for patients under mechanical ventilator about patient-ventilator asynchrony. The survey is web-based and will be sent for health professionals working in the ICU of the participating centers. All data will be treated anonymously with the intent of identifying knowledge gaps and inadequate practice that could be remediated by continuous medical education initiatives

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Physicians

Definition: Physicians working in the ICU for at least 50% of their time in the hospital

Intervention: Survey about patient-ventilator asynchrony

Participants will fill an online survey that asks multiple-choice questions related to knowledge, attitudes and practice related to patient-ventilator asynchrony and also have images of ventilator waveforms wth asynchrony, where they need to identify the type of asynchrony
Nurses

Definition: Nurses working in the ICU for at least 20 hours/week

Intervention: Survey about patient-ventilator asynchrony

Participants will fill an online survey that asks multiple-choice questions related to knowledge, attitudes and practice related to patient-ventilator asynchrony and also have images of ventilator waveforms wth asynchrony, where they need to identify the type of asynchrony
Respiratory Therapists

Definition: Respiratory Therapists working in the ICU for at least 20 hours/week

Intervention: Survey about patient-ventilator asynchrony

Participants will fill an online survey that asks multiple-choice questions related to knowledge, attitudes and practice related to patient-ventilator asynchrony and also have images of ventilator waveforms wth asynchrony, where they need to identify the type of asynchrony
