The purpose of this study is to determine whether breathing pattern (specifically the inspiratory time/total respiratory cycle value) has an influence over the response to the noninvasive mechanical ventilation.
Breathing pattern will be analyzed along the adaptation to 3 different NonInvasive-Mechanical-Ventilation modes (controlled mode, spontaneous mode and placebo mode or simulator).

Respiratory rate and duration of inspiration are controlled by the patient. Device model: Stellar 150® (ResMed, Australia).
Ventilator maintains the positive end-expiratory pressure until the patient inspires. At that point, the ventilator reaches the support pressure in a predetermined time. The patient fixes the respiratory rate and the duration of inspiration, triggering all the cycles. Device model: Stellar 150® (ResMed, Australia).
Ventilator maintains a continuous positive airway pressure during the entire cycle. Device model: Stellar 150® (ResMed, Australia).
