Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time 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
| Measure | Time 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. | — |
