Non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) is a successful treatment modality in hypercapnic respiratory failure. Patient compliance and mask selection are the most important factors in the success of NIMV. In our prospective randomized study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of full-face and oronasal masks in the treatment of patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure who underwent NIMV and to investigate the mask compliance of the patients.
