Autonomous modes, or closed-loop control (CLC), of mechanical ventilation (MV) is outpacing clinician application and insight from end-user stakeholders. To better understand the perspectives and current practices concerning this developing paradigm shift in MV, and to guide curriculum development, measuring clinicians’ current knowledge/attitudes/practices concerning CLC of MV may serve to this end. The primary aim of this work is to develop and deploy a relevant and validated survey tool to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning CLC use within the prehospital, medical care roles 1-4, and ICU milieu in the United States from civilian and military personnel (Air Force CCAT). This work also aims to describe the epidemiology of CLC use in the context of rapidly advancing ventilator technology, identify barriers and facilitators to CLC implementation in the prehospital and ICU environments from civilian and military clinicians, and measure trust in CLC/autonomous modes of mechanical ventilation among clinicians that interface with mechanical ventilators.
