Arterial blood gas concentrations during wakefulness (day-time) before (Pre-NIV) and after non-invasive ventilation (Post-NIV). Treatment with non-invasive ventilation in patients with familial dysautonomia resulted in significantly reduced arterial pCO2 concentration during daytime (P < 0.0001, left panel), suggesting that nocturnal non-invasive ventilation could reset the chemoreceptor during daytime. Nocturnal non-invasive ventilation did not change arterial pO2 levels (P = 0.1167, right panel)
