Transcutaneous measurements of PCO2
PCO2 will be measured transcutaneously with an ear lobe sensor before initiation of NIV, and during the initiation period (SenTec DM®, Software V-STATS 4.0; SenTec AG; Therwil, Switzerland)
Telemonitoring
Telemonitoring will be used to send data from the transcutaneous measurements, data from the EMG measurements and data from the ventilator from home to the hospital.
EMG
Surface EMG of the respiratory muscles will be used to monit patients in both groups as a surrogate marker of respiratory muscle unloading and to detect PVA during NIV
Home initiation of NIV
The primary aim of the study is to compare home and inhospital initiation of NIV
Inhospital initiation of NIV
The primary aim of the study is to compare home and inhospital initiation of NIV
