The use of domiciliary non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure has yielded variable effects on survival, quality of life and dyspnea. The investigators hypothesized that use of NPPV in stable COPD might result in improvement in quality of life and dyspnea.
