Timeline
Interventions
The communicator will be attached to the BPAP/CPAP mask. The study coordinator will ENABLE the communicator. A list of single words and 5-word through 15-word sentences will be provided to the patient. Each single word may be read aloud up to two times. The partner must then select the read word out of a list of twelve possible words. Each sentence may be read aloud up to two times. The partner must transcribe each sentence on a standardized form. A survey will be provided to evaluate the "mask on, communicator on" period.
