Stopped: Trial was not initiated due to COVID19 pandemic
Despite growing evidence showing benefit (in both clinical and cost standpoints), only a small percentage of COPD patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure are managed with nocturnal ventilatory support. There is uncertainty of the value of aggressive nocturnal ventilation, especially polysomnographic estimation of therapy and home transcutaneous CO2 tracking. The driving goal behind this project is to develop and implement a streamlined and comprehensive program for nocturnal ventilator management of patients with advanced, hypercapnic COPD.
