2 Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) used in patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure that arises from COPD is aimed at improving Hypercapnia (physiological outcome) Symptoms and quality of life (subjective outcome) Long-term survival (objective outcome)

3 I have morning headache I see

4 CO 2 : Extrapulmonary vasodilatation Reduction in precapillary tone Distal movement of the filtration equilibrium point in the capillaries I have morning headache I see Increased extravasation and loss of plasma volume; thus, effective circulating volume is reduced Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system Kidney response: sodium retention and intravascular volume restoration Maintenance of hypercapnia: Peripheral edema Leeuw PW. et al. Eur Respir J 2003; 22(suppl.) 46:33-44

5 Hypercapnic edema in COPD - Aggravation caused by diuretics - airways hypercapnia - Hypoventilation - metabolic compensation: renal bicarbonate retention limbs edema circulus vitiosus loop diuretics respiratory compensation: hypoventilation metabolic alkalosis

13 At present, there is insufficient evidence to support the application of routine NIPPV in patients with stable COPD. However, higher IPAP levels, better compliance and higher baseline PaCO 2 seem to improve PaCO 2. Struik FM et al. Respir Med 2014; 108:
