Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study[Application of pulmonary infection control window as switching point for sequential invasive to noninvasive ventilation in treatment of severe respiratory failure of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a randomized controlled study].
To evaluate the feasibility and the efficacy of early extubation and sequential noninvasive mechanical ventilation (MV) switched by pulmonary infection control window (PIC window) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with exacerbated hypercapnic respiratory failure. ⋯ Early extubation followed by non-invasive MV initiated at the point of PIC window may decrease the duration of invasive MV and improve the prognosis.
