| Abstract | Chronic hypoventilation is a marker of disease severity in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The degree to which this predicts severity or objective measures of lung function is variable, and more reliable for COPD than for asthma. Patients with COPD are particularly susceptible to nocturnal hypoventilation, but at-risk patients can be identified by abnormalities in daytime gas exchange. Continuous positive airway pressure and noninvasive ventilation have no demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of chronic hypoventilation solely due to asthma or COPD. There is consensus that early treatment with noninvasive ventilation for acute hypoventilation due to a COPD exacerbation is not only highly effective, but it reduces mortality, the need for endotracheal intubation, and hospital length of stay. There is probable benefit to the use of noninvasive ventilation in acute asthma, but the evidence to support this is far less robust than for COPD. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
