Young man suffering from mitochondrial myopathy was admitted to our Institute due to severe hypercapnic respiratory failure. Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NWM) during sleep using nasal mask was instituted with positive results. Diurnal blood gases breathing air also ameliorated suggesting improvement of respiratory muscles function.
