Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In one study, it was found that NIV reduced weaning time, length of ICU stay, incidence of nosocomial pneumonia, and 60-day mortality compared with conventional weaning with invasive pressure support ventilation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
First, positive inspiratory pressure may improve gas exchange and unload the respiratory muscles, allowing these muscles to recover, gain strength, and reduce fatigue. These benefits should re-duce symptoms associated with hypoventilation and improve quality-of-life. Second, patients with severe COPD have poor sleep quality, shorter sleep time, and nocturnal hypoventilation.
