Design
Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: The patients are randomized in 2 arms at their admission : S/T mode arm : the patient is ventilated as the standard procedure of the ICU, with settings defined by the pratician. AVAPS-AE mode arm : the pratician sets NIV with a positive expiratory pressure set between 4 and 14 cmH2O, an inspiratory support between 14 and 24 cmH2O and a target tidal volume between 8 and 10 mL/kg of an ideal weight (Size (m) * Size (m) * 23). Masking: Single (Participant)Masking Description: The ventilator used in both arms will be similar in appareance.Primary Purpose: Treatment

Participation Requirements

So far, in respiratory intensive care units, the usual treatment of patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure with acidosis is non-invasive ventilation set with a pressure support mode (S/T or VS/AI mode depending on the ventilator manufacturer). AVAPS-AE mode is a volume targeted pressure support mode with an automatic PEP. With the forced oscillations method, the ventilator is able to detect the obstruction and the resistances of upper airways. It allows the ventilator to change its pressure settings to keep the targeted volume and avoid apneas and hypoventilation. That is why in patients with a BMI > 30 kg/m², at risk of obesity hypoventilation syndrom or obstructive apneas, this ventilation mode may be interesting. AVAPS-AE has been evaluated in the home ventilation showing it is as efficient as S/T mode in controlling PaCO2. However it has never been compared to S/T mode in acute respiratory failure care.
