Patients being treated with non-invasive home mechanical ventilation (NIV) may experience morning dyspnea after each night of NIV use, when the therapy is abruptly ended. This study aims to show that dyspnea intensity can be significantly reduced by a gentle NIV therapy end, delivered by a continuously decreasing pressure level (inverse pressure ramp) after therapy end in the morning, a feature called softSTOPP, which can configured in prismaVENT NIV devices. This could also improve therapy adherence.
