Editor’s Preface
“Nocturnal noninvasive ventilation”: the term, rightly, is at once compelling and confusing; the current state of the art reflects this. Imperative indeed is the need for better appreciation of the background and theory of noninvasive ventilation, and its optimal application both awake and in sleep. For the art and science of noninvasive ventilation is a “black box” even among the most well-taught and intuitive of our clinicians and researchers, particularly when the “nocturnal” imperatives (usually, read “sleep”) are considered, or at least should be considered. What is the history of such ventilation, what is the current biologic and clinical evidence base, and what are the lessons of these for current standards of practice of this critical health-care modality? What are the clinical conditions and medical settings which should, and must, be met with noninvasive ventilation (e.g., acute or chronic hypoventilation syndromes and settings in which hypoventilation and cardiorespiratory status can be improved or at least sustained); in which physiologic state is such ventilation best applied (e.g., awake, asleep, and b
