Domiciliary noninvasive ventilation for chronic respiratory diseases.

Abstract

Patients with chronic respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), neuromuscular diseases, kyphoscoliosis and obstructive sleep apnoea-obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OSA-OHS), are at a higher risk of decompensation in the form of hypercapnic respiratory failure leading to intensive care unit (ICU) admission and increased mortality. This article reviews the evidence of role of domiciliary noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with diseases with chronic ventilatory failure, including the mechanism of the effect of (NIV).
