Study start date: June 19, 2015

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

Patients who are suffering from a variety of respiratory conditions benefit from continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) which is a form of Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV). Some patients find the temperature of the breathing gas difficult to tolerate. The aim of this study is to compare comfort of healthy volunteer participants while being given CPAP at different temperatures. Healthy volunteers will be given two different levels humidity and temperature and asked about preference.
