Inclusion

  • Inclusion criteria
  • Adult patients aged 18 or above, admitted to an ICU, an intermediate care or a respiratory care unit;
  • Chronic respiratory disease previously documented or strongly suspected on clinical, radiological and blood gazes data and pulmonary function tests, in connection with an obstructive respiratory disease (COPD, emphysema, overlap-syndrome (COPD + obstructive sleep apnoea) or mixed (bronchiectasis, obesity-hypoventilation syndrome))
  • Patients requiring NIV for hypercapnic ARF (whatever the precipitating cause) i.e. with clinical signs of moderate to severe respiratory distress : dyspnea and /or respiratory rate \> 25/min and/or use of accessory respiratory muscles and/or paradoxical abdominal motion and/or signs of respiratory encephalopathy (sleepiness, asterixis, confusion); and respiratory acidosis on arterial blood gases, defined by pH\<7.35 and PaCO2 \> 45 mmHg despite the careful supply of oxygen and appropriate therapy that may include bronchodilators, corticosteroids and antibiotics
  • Exclusion criteria
  • Contraindications to NIV;
  • Purely restrictive lung disease (thoracic deformity, neuro-muscular pathology) and pure obstructive sleep apnoea (without spirometric disturbance or daytime gas anomaly)

  • Multiple organ failure (score SOFA\>6);
  • NIV treatement for \>3 consecutive hours (without any interruption) before admission to ICU, intermediate care, or respiratory care unit and before randomization;
  • Anticipated difficulties to conduct NIV (facial trauma or deformation, edentulous patient);
  • End stage chronic respiratory insufficiency (defined as use of NIV at home or CPAP treatment at home and life expectancy below 6 month);
  • Non-treated pneumothorax;
  • Impossibility to perform subjective assessment of dyspnea and comfort (cognitive impairment);
  • Patient under guardianship or trusteeship;
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding;
  • Decision to withhold or to withdraw life-sustaining treatments (including intubation)
  • Moribund state
  • Current participation in another clinical trial with an endpoint related to NIV.
