Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Sequential BiPAP following invasive mechanical ventilation in COPD patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure].
To estimate the feasibility and the efficacy of extubation and sequential bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with exacerbated hypercapnic respiratory failure. ⋯ BiPAP can be well tolerated, and can improve ventilation function markedly. It can also facifiated the extubation, and reduced the reintubation rate in regular mechanical ventilation.
