Use of NIV in cystic fibrosis: 10-year experience of a large adult CF centre

Conclusion: In CF, NIV can be a bridge to lung transplantation and is being used in a similar fashion to other respiratory conditions. NIV is often continued during end-of-life with many patients on treatment until death. PTX and haemoptysis, often considered contraindication to NIV, should not limit the use of this technique.
