Official Title: Volume Targeted Versus Pressure Targeted Non-invasive Ventilation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: a Randomised Control Trial.
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of using intelligent volume assured pressure support (iVAPS-AE) versus spontaneous timed (ST) modes of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The investigators believe that the use of iVAPS-AE mode NIV over a 90 day period will produce NIV compliance data and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores that are equivalent or no worse compared to ST mode NIV.
