"The Effect of Inhaled Nitroglycerin on Improving Respiratory Failure in COPD Patients Admitted to Adult Intensive Care Unit"
this study aims to investigative the benefits of using nebulized nitroglycerin in improving respiratory functions in patients of late stage COPD
Inclusion: Adult patient's ≥ 18 years old COPD exacerbation with respiratory failure and Echo evidenced presence of pulmonary hypertension (defined as mean pulmonary artery pressure > 20 mmHg).
Exclusion: Profound left ventricular failure, as the decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance results in an increase in left ventricular preload. This may worsen cardiogenic pulmonary edema; Patient with hypersensitivity to nitroglycerin; Pregnant female patients.
