ZENG Xiao-li
Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of biphasic intra-airway positive air pressure (BiPAP) respiratory therapy on respiratory failure. Methods Forty patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary Disease (COPD) were divided into control group and treatment group. The control group was treated with common therapy and the treatment group was treated with both common and BiPAP. PH, PaO2, PaCO2, and FVC were analyzed before and 24h after therapy, meanwhile changes of clinical symptoms were recorded. Results Symptoms of the treatment group showed more improvement than the control group 24h after therapy. BiPAP relieved respiratory muscle fatigue, which increased tidal volume, decreased respiratory rate and oxygen consumption. Conclusion BiPAP was an optimistic and non traumatic method for treating COPD with type-Ⅱ respiratory failure.
