Abstract

OPD exacerbation represents a part of the common course of the disease, which is characterized by worsening of the patient's baseline difficulty in breathing, cough, and/or sputum sufficient to intensify management which needs MV in acute respiratory failure patients with COPD exacerbation and associated with high rates of ICU mortality. Weaning from invasive MV may be defined as the process of abrupt or gradual withdrawal of ventilator support, thereby shifting the work of breathing from machine to man.
