Abstract：Objective To investigate the effects of continuous invasive mechanical ventilation combined with BAL on COPD patients with respiratory failure. Methods Sixty COPD patients with respiratory failure were divided into BAL and control group randomly. Control group were treated with sputum suction tube to aspire sputum and BAL group treated with BAL. The changes in the indicators were observed. Results The SpO2, airway peak inspiratory pressure and blood gas analysis were improved significantly compared with the control group (P < 0.01). The number of peripheral blood leucocytes and the level of CRP in BAL group were lower than those in control group at the seventh day (P < 0.01). The duration of invasive mechanical ventilation and hospital stay in BAL group was shorter than that in control group (P < 0.01) and there was no severe complication in both groups. Conclusion BALwith continuous mechanical ventilation support are safe and effective and shorten hospitalization time and improve the prognosis of COPD patients with respiratory failure.
