The observation of efficacy of mechanical ventilation treatment on aged chronic obstructive pulmonary disease concurrent respiratory failure

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of the mechanical ventilation for aged patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) concurrent Ⅱ type with respiratory failure.Methods Mechanical ventilation was given in 64 patients with COPD Ⅱ type respiratory failure.To observe the pH value,PaO2 and PaCO2 before and after mechanical ventilation.Results The pH value and PaO2 were increased,PaCO2 declined obviously after mechanical ventilation,there was a significant difference significance(P0.01).Conclusion Mechanical ventilation was an optional effective way in treatment of aged patients with COPD concurrent Ⅱ type respiratory failure,and it's worthy of clinic application.
