Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of High-Intensity-NIV on the heart in stable COPD : A randomised cross-over pilot study

TL;DR: Long-term non-invasive ventilation with adequate pressure to improve gas exchange and health-related quality of life did not have an overall adverse effect on cardiac performance, but in patients with pre-existing heart failure, the application of very high inspiratory pressures might reduce cardiac output.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term volume-targeted pressure-controlled ventilation: sense or nonsense?

TL;DR: The rationale, working principles, characteristics and set-up recommendations associated with volume-targeted pressure-controlled ventilation, and the clinical and laboratory studies that have challenged this mode are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity hypoventilation syndrome treated with non-invasive ventilation: Is a switch to CPAP therapy feasible?

TL;DR: Obesity hypoventilation syndrome can be treated with either continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or non‐invasive ventilation (NIV) therapy; the device choice has important economic and operational implications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term noninvasive ventilation in patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure: assisting the diaphragm, but threatening the heart?

TL;DR: Both the application of expiratory airway pressure and (higher) inspiratory pressures may acutely decrease cardiac output during the initiation of NIV, however, the meaning of this effect in the long term is not clear.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Late Breaking Abstract - Obesity hypoventilation syndrome treated with non-invasive ventilation: can we switch to CPAP?

TL;DR: It is feasible to switch stable OHS patients from NIV to CPAP, taking into consideration the lower cost of a CPAP and its easiness of use, and compliance under CPAP was significantly higher than under NIV.
