Treatment of Metabolic Alkalosis With Acetazolamide. Effect on the Length of Mechanical Ventilation.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to analyze whether the treatment of metabolic alkalosis with acetazolamide in intubated patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) reduces the length of mechanical ventilation (MV).
