Study & Design

Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Study Design
SINGLE_GROUP
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient-ventilator synchrony

Patient-ventilator synchrony will be assessed breath by brath on the basis of airway pressure, flow and diaphragmatic electrical activity recordings.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
comfort of patient under NIV

Patient's confort during NIV will be assessed using a visual analogic scale.

Ventilatory parameters

Tidal volume, respiratory rate, inspiratory time, expiratory time and maximal and mean airway pressure will be measured from the continuous recording of airway pressure and flow.
