Acute respiratory failure is a medical emergency rapidly leading to death, if not timely treated. Prompt Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) improves patient outcomes. However, pre-hospital CPAP is currently limited to healthcare providers due to the absence of easy-to-use and immediate devices specifically designed for the non-medical population. The efficacy and usability of a new portable CPAP device will be assessed. This device is specifically designed for potential use in out-of-hospital scenarios involving acute respiratory failure. The evaluation will focus not only on the performance of the device but also on its easiness of use.
