Description
Summary:To determine frequency of factors leading to poor outcome of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This cross sectional study was conducted at our center between May 2012 and November 2012. A total of 195 diagnosed patients of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease meeting the inclusion criteria were selected from the ER department. At the time of admission age was inquired BP, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation will be noted and pedal edema was assessed and investigations were sent for pH assessment. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) using BiPAP was applied in spontaneous mode by the help of oronasal mask. Presence of respiratory rate (less than 12/min), systolic blood pressure 60 years was the least common factor, 66.2% and 24.2% respectively.
