Non-invasive ventilation is associated with long-term improvements in lung function and gas exchange in cystic fibrosis adults with hypercapnic respiratory failure

Wadsworth, LE; Belcher, J; Bright-Thomas, RJ

Abstract

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is an established treatment option for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with type 2 respiratory failure but the benefits of this therapy remain unclear. This study examined the long-term outcomes and response to NIV in a large adult CF cohort.
