Two-hour dynamic reassessment of noninvasive ventilation failure risk in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with hypercapnic respiratory failure: development and temporal validation
Background Early recognition of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) failure remains difficult in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) with hypercapnic respiratory failure. We developed and temporally validated a model for structured reassessment after early NIV treatment and compared it with a...
