Condition(s) studied

Respiratory Insufficiency

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Noninvasive ventilation

Noninvasive ventilation: Respiratory support with a facemask connected to a ventilator through a heated humidifier. Ventilator will be set in the pressure support mode.

Study summary

The objective of this randomized cross-over trial is to assess the physiological effects of three different facemasks for noninvasive ventilation (Nivairo, Visairo, Optiniv) in patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure
