Deventilation Syndrome in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Using Nocturnal Noninvasive Ventilation: What Are the Underlying Mechanisms? Respiration 10, 723-732 
Introduction: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) commonly experience severe dyspnea after discontinuation of nocturnal noninvasive ventilation (NIV), known as deventilation syndrome (DVS), which negatively affects quality of life. Despite various hypotheses, the precise mechanisms of DVS remain unknown. Methods: An observational pilot study was performed monitoring 16 stable COPD patients before, during, and after an afternoon nap on NIV. Seven patients experienced DVS (Borg Dyspnea Scale >= 5), while nine served as controls (Borg Dyspnea Scale
