About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of home high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with stable chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does HFNC or NIV reduce blood carbon dioxide levels more effectively? * How well do patients tolerate and adhere to each therapy? * Are there differences in oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and quality of life between the two treatments?

Participants Will:

* Use either HFNC (myAirvo2®) or NIV (Trilogy Evo®) every night for at least 4 hours over a 6-week period. * Visit the hospital for checkups and arterial blood gas tests at the end of each 6-week period. * Switch to the alternate device after six weeks as part of the crossover study design. * Have their device usage recorded and analyzed.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

PaCO2

Arterial blood gas analysis will be performed three times to assess the improvement of hypercapnia, the primary outcome, by measuring pH, PaCO₂, PaO₂, HCO₃-, and SpO₂.

Time frame
The first measurement will be conducted at baseline, on the day the first device is applied. The second measurement will be taken at week 6 from baseline, after the device has been used for six weeks. The final measurement will be performed at week 12 fr

Secondary outcomes

1

TCO2

Transcutaneous CO₂ (SenTec V-Sign, SenTec AG, Switzerland) will be measured three times as a surrogate marker for hypercapnia.

Time frame
The first measurement will be conducted at baseline, on the day the first device is applied. The second measurement will be taken at week 6 from baseline, after the device has been applied for six weeks. The final measurement will be performed at week 12
2

Compliance

During the six-week application period of each device, the actual average daily usage time and the percentage of days with at least four hours of usage (number of days with ≥4 hours of use/ total number of applied days) ×100 will be assessed.

Time frame
The first assessment will be conducted at week 6 from baseline, after the first device has been applied for six weeks. The second assessment will be performed at week 12 from baseline, after the second device has been applied for six weeks.
