Description

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled study. The study subjects were patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease admitted to the intensive care unit, who were randomized into the study group, that is, the programmed withdrawal unit, and the control group was the traditional withdrawal unit (the attending physician decided the NIV regimen according to the condition). The primary study endpoints of the trial were complete evacuation of noninvasive ventilation (i. e. from the start of the patient to noninvasive ventilation) or return of time to normal ventilation for patients with a home non-invasive ventilator prior to acute exacerbation. Secondary study endpoints include length of stay, stay and failure of non-invasive ventilation (failure of non-invasive ventilation was defined as the patient requiring endotracheal intubation to invasive ventilation or death).
