Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Use of EtCO2 and Prolonged Expiratory Maneuvers as a PaCO2 Predictor in Cases of Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure

Brief Summary: In patients treated by Non invasive ventilation (NIV) due to acute hypercapnic respiratory failure, the interest of using the End-tidal Co2 measurement device "Capnostream" to evaluate PaCo2 and PaCo2 variations over time will be evaluated. Measurements will be done under normal expiration and under prolonged active and passive expiration maneuvers.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: University of Lausanne Hospitals

Current Primary Outcome: Comparison between EtCO2,PaCO2 and PaCO2 variation under NIV during both spontaneous expiration and prolonged expiration [ Time Frame: Sixty minutes ]
