Nocturnal ventilatory support in patients with cystic fibrosis: comparison with supplemental oxygen

D Gozal

Progressive deterioration of lung function in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients may lead to significant hypoxaemia and hypercapnia, especially during sleep. The effects of bi-level noninvasive positive pressure nasal mask ventilation (NIPPV) on respiration and sleep were compared to those of low-flow oxygen therapy in six CF patients (mean +/- SD age 22.3 +/- 4.7 yrs, with severe lung disease (forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) 29.4 +/- 3.4% predicted). Compared to the control night, NIPPV and oxygen therapy significantly improved overall night-time oxygen saturation during both rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep stages. However, significant increases in transcutaneous CO2 tension occurred during oxygen therapy, while NIPPV markedly improved alveolar ventilation during all sleep states. Sleep architecture and arousals remained unchanged during NIPPV and oxygen therapy treatment nights. We conclude that noninvasive positive pressure ventilation improves sleep-related hypoxaemia and hypercapnia in severe cystic fibrosis patients without affecting sleep. The long-term compliance and benefits of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation remain unclear.
