Effectiveness of Acetazolamide for Reversal of Metabolic Alkalosis in Mechanically Ventilated Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether acetazolamide are effective to reduce the length of mechanical ventilation in decompensated Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients developing pure or mixed metabolic alkalosis.
