{Abstract}: Initiation of home non-invasive ventilation (NIV) requires careful consideration of the patient's condition, motivation, expectations, wishes, and social circumstances. The decision to start NIV depends on a combination of factors including patient symptoms and objective evidence of nocturnal hypoventilation. A solid understanding of the underlying pathophysiology is key to a systematic and well-balanced clinical approach to titrating NIV. The location where NIV is initiated is not the most relevant issue, provided that it is a comfortable, safe environment in which adequate monitoring can be assured. The majority of patients prefer their own home for treatment initiation.
