Monitoring of Patients With Chronic Respiratory Failure Traeted With Non-invasive Home Ventilation: Contribution of New Monitoring Tools

Single-center retrospective study conducted on a population of patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure treated by non-invasive ventilation at home, followed at the CHRU of Nancy. The objective is to assess the contribution of reading the NIV card with a standardized grid in their follow-up. The main objective is to assess the inter-observer agreement of a standardized NIV card reading grid, the secondary objective is to compare the results of NIV card reading between the usual NIV card reading method in the service and this same method completed by the addition of the standardized reading grid. The hypothesis is that the use of a standardized NIV card reading grid improves patient follow-up by standardizing their care.

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:
