Discontinuous non-invasive mechanical ventilation and deep breathing in COPD induced chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure
Abstract：Objective To investigate the ways of improving respiratory function of patients with chronic obstuctive pulmonary disease(COPD) .Methods Discontinous non-invasive positive pressure ventilation(DNIHV)was used in 5 patients whose level of PaCO2 was 60～70 mmHg(1.5 hourseach time, 2～3 times/day). 4 patients whose level of PaCO0 was 50～60 mmHg accepted discontinuos deep breath and respiratory pattern traninig(deepbreath: 10～20 times each time, 3～5 times/day). Results All patients ' level of arterial blood gas reached or approached normal levels after treat-ment Exercise capacility improved significantly. Mean hospitalization phase decreased significantly (117 days vs 9 days for one year), and mean costdecreased by 12. 72% in DNIHV group. Conclusion Both DNIHV and deep breath could improved respiratory function of patients with COPD.
