Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study[Early use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation for patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a multicentre randomized controlled trial].
To assess the efficacy and safety of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) patients on general wards. ⋯ The early use of NPPV on general wards improves arterial blood gas and respiratory pattern, decreases the rate of need for intubation in AECOPD patients. NPPV is indicative for alleviating respiratory muscle fatigue and preventing respiratory failure from exacerbation.
