Adjustment of Non-invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in Patients With Chronic Hypercapnic Ventilatory Failure Using Automated End-expiratory Pressure (AutoEEP) Algorithm
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating AutoVPAP with addition of AutoEPAP and AutoVPAP with EPAP manually selected for Respiratory Insufficiency and Sleep Disordered Breathing. Completed, enrolled 21 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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.
