Comparison of the effects of ipratropium/salbutamol drugs combination with another drug, called glycopyrronium, all given by nebulization, in patients suffering from the disease called, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and are now very sick and on ventilator.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Effectiveness in causing bronchodilation is by the End-inspiratory static compliance (Cstat), minimum (Rint) and maximum (Rrs) resistance of the respiratory system.and duration by the time the Rint remains less than 85% of baseline value. Timepoint: Data will be collected at 15, 30, 60 minutes as well as at 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours after each nebulisation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To examine the incidence of any side effect attributable to nebulized, long acting muscarinic antagonist, glycopyrronium in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients of COPD.Timepoint: Data will be collected at 15, 30, 60 minutes as well as at 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours after each nebulisation.
