Summary
The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that an automated algorithm for desired mask pressure improves breathing pattern and sleep quality in patients with hypercapnic ventilatory failure. For this purpose, The investigators will study different groups of patients, including those with obstructive and restrictive ventilatory defect, and obstructive sleep apnoea, non-naive to conventional bi-level positive airways pressure therapy.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Subjects will be patients not naive to noninvasive ventilation, and being so treated for any form of hypercapnic ventilatory failure.
- Previously stabilised on bilevel noninvasive pressure support ventilation.
- Both genders, age 75 years
- Pregnancy
- Epilepsy
- Psychiatric disorders that could possibly influence the study
- Any kind of addiction
- Insufficient knowledge of the language
- Noninvasive ventilation otherwise contraindicated
