Scientific title
Study objectivesAcute exacerbations of COPD are a common reason for hospital admission and are a cause of significant mortality. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) via a face or nasal mask has been shown to reduce mortality and the need for intubation. However the studies have been carried out in units with a particular expertise in the techniques involved. Instituting NIV in a distressed, dispnoeic individual and matching the ventilator to the patients requirements is difficult. The early introduction of NIV is easier (the patient is better able to cooperate and lower, more comfortable inflation pressures can be used) and may interrupt a vicious cycle of deterioration before it is well established. Moreover simpler ventilations, which do not require great expertise and are therefore practical for use in non-specialist units, can be used. We wish to establish whether early NIV can be widely applied, with benefit, in a variety of hospitals.
