Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients with a restrictive pulmonary disease (slow evolution neuromuscular or thorax
cage diseases, obesity or nocturnal hypoventilation) and hypercapnic chronic
respiratory failure with standard criteria for NIV.

- COPD patients who need NIV because of another reason (obesity, nocturnal
hyperventilation or nocturnal hypercapnic response to oxygen).

- PaCO2 = de 50 mmHg.

- Clinically stable (at least for one month).

- Possibility to fit a nasal mask for NIV treatment (ultra mirage, mirage).

Exclusion Criteria:

- Rapid evolution neuromuscular disease (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).

- Serious comorbidity.

- Lack of patients comprehension or collaboration.

- Inability to fit a nasal mask for NIV treatment (ultra mirage, mirage).

- Treatment compliance < 4h/d.

Primary Outcome(s)
Clinical usefulness of quantifying AIR LEAKS during the adaptation period to NIV as a predictor of effectiveness (pCO2 EVOLUTION) of this treatment. [Time Frame: One year]
Secondary Outcome(s)
- Air leaks AND patients' characteristics.- Some indices (air leaks/inspiratory pressure...)and NIV effectiveness. - Air leak evolution.- Air leaks and patients' tolerance to NIV. [Time Frame: One year]
