Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Hospitalized with a diagnosis of AECOPD requiring NIV 2. Informed consent obtained

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Immediate need for intubation at presentation 2. Contraindications to NIV 3. Other causes of respiratory failure (e.g., pneumonia without COPD, pulmonary edema, neuromuscular disease) 4. Refusal of consent

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the predictive value of the combined HACOR score and Lung Ultrasound Score (LUS) that is HACOR-LUS value for NIV failure in patients with AECOPD. HACOR and LUS will be assessed at baseline (within 2 hours of NIV initiation)Timepoint: at baseline (within 2 hours of NIV initiation)—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To identify clinical & demographic factors associated with NIV failure. 2. To assess the ventilator days & weaning outcome in High HACOR-LUS score patientsTimepoint: 1-2 hours after NIV initiation—
