An analysis of the treatment effect xof sequential mechanical ventilation in AECOPD with severe respiratory failure in ICU

Objective To investigate the role of sequential in-noninvasive mechanical ventilation in AECOPD with severe respiratory failure.Methods From July 2006 to July 2008,32 patients with AECOPD with severe respiratory failure(the therapy group)were treated with sequential in-noninvasive mechanical ventilation.The other 30 patients From June 2004 to June 2006(the contrast group)were treated with invasive mechanical ventilation.The two groups were compared on the measures of progress of the disease,the rate of VAP and death,duration of invasive mechanical ventilation,total mechanical ventilation and days in ICU and hospital.Results Compared with the contrast group,the therapy group had lower rate of VAP and death,shorter duration of invasive mechanical ventilation and total mechanical ventilation,and fewer days in ICU and hospital.Conclusion Using properly while changing sequential in-nonivvasive mechanical ventilation,the therapeutic effects can be improved obviously.
