Brief Summary: Patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure can be successfully treated with home nocturnal non-invasive ventilation Bi-level pressure support ventilators are at present the most frequently used ventilators for long term home ventilation A recently commercialized bi-level ventilator offers the feature of automatically adjusting pressure support on the basis of a pre-determined ideal effective ventilation Because this option may induce important swings in pressure support and thus patient discomfort and maybe increase leaks we chose to analyse the impact of average volume assured pressure support AVAPS on patient comfort subjective and objective quality of sleep and efficacy of ventilatory support
Detailed Description: This study aims to compare in a randomized order two consecutive nights with a bi-level positive pressure ventilator Synchrony Respironics USA with and without average volume assured pressure support AVAPS in patients with chronic respiratory failure treated on a long term basis by home nocturnal non-invasive ventilation

Specific endpoints are

quality of sleep assessed by polysomnography scored by an independent investigator sleep efficiency distribution of sleep stages arousals and sleep stage changes and subjective scores St Marys questionnaire
perception of comfort of ventilation clinical score
efficacy of ventilation pulsoximetry transcutaneous capnography Tina TCM4 Radiometer Copenhagen effective ventilation and tidal volumes leaks as measured by ventilator Stardust software Respironics

Patients Fourteen patients with obesity-hypoventilation andor COPD treated and stable for at least 3 months will be included and undergo complete sleep studies in Geneva University Hospitals Sleep Laboratory Patients included must be compliant to treatment at least 4 hours of use of ventilatornight

Methods Patients are blinded as to whether or not AVAPS is implemented Target tidal volume is set at 7-8 mlkg EPAP Expiratory positive airway pressure level is unchanged Minimal IPAP Inspiratory positive airway pressure level is set at usual IPAP - 3 cm H2O Maximal IPAP is set between 25 and 30 cm H2O Back up frequency is unchanged

All patients must provide written informed consent Protocol has been accepted by the ethics committee on clinical research of Geneva University Hospital

Results of scores and relevant parameters of polysomnography oxymetry and capnography will be compared
