COPD Exacerbation
Conditions
Keywords
NIVO, DECAF, HACOR
Brief summary
* Assess predictors of mortality in COPD exacerbation between men and women. * Evaluate the clinical outcomes in acute exacerbation of COPD in women. * Evaluate the validity of new scoring systems ( NIVO, DECAF, HACOR ) as a predictor for hospital outcome in acute exacerbation of COPD. * Compare these new scoring system with the most widely used APACHE IV. * Assessment of serum level of granulocyte colony stimulating factor ( GM-CSF) in detecting the severity of COPD exacerbation.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients with AECOPD leading to hypoxemia, hypercapnia and respiratory acidosis with pH \< 7.35 and PaCO2 \> 45 mm of Hg will be admitted to the respiratory intensive care unit (ICU) for NIV or the ward will be eligible for inclusion and not in need for mechanical ventilation
Exclusion criteria
* Requirement for emergency intubation. * Other contraindications to NIPPV including cardiac or respiratory arrest; nonrespiratory organ failure (eg, severe encephalopathy, severe gastrointestinal bleeding, hemodynamic instability with or without unstable cardiac angina); facial surgery or trauma; upper-airway obstruction; inability to protect the airway and/or high risk of aspiration; and inability to clear secretions.(6) * Age \< 35 years.
