Abstract
Chronic respiratory failure (CRF) is frequent in the end stage of the natural progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Despite some physiological and clinical benefits, the role of long-term noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in improving survival in COPD patients with CRF remains uncertain. Newer studies have provided information about this therapeutic modality that should be reserved for individual cases.
