Arms & Interventions

1

Active Comparator

Non-invasive ventilation is maintained during three nights after recovery of an episode of hypercapnic respiratory failure.

Intervention: Nocturnal non-invasive ventilation (Device)

2

No Intervention

Discontinuation of NIV after the recovery of hypercapnic respiratory failure, without prolong it during night.
