Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is essential for managing hypercapnic respiratory failure in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) and those with co-existing OSA, where continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) alone is insufficient. However, adherence to NIV can be challenging, with substantial non-compliance occurring due to factors such as discomfort and phobia. The objective of this protocol is to assess the improvement of adherence to NIV remotely monitored, as well as to record symptom control and long-term clinical outcomes, and to optimise healthcare resource usage.
