Background: The outcome of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease depends upon the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide This study was aimed to find the role of arterial blood gas parameters during the length of hospital stay among patients admitted for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseasewith acute exacerbation. Materials and Methods: This was an observational study conducted in KIST Medical College Teaching Hospital from February 2017 to August 2019. Patients admitted with the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were evaluated. Demographic data as well as oxygen saturation (SPO2), pulmonary function test, and arterial blood gas analysis were recorded and analyzed. Results: Among 112 patients, the female to male ratio was 1.38: 1 with 84.8% over 60 years of age. One-third of patients (n=38) had exposure to both tobacco smoking and biomass and of them, 86.8% were females. Mean SpO2 was 75.9% and mean FEV1 was 0.92 L (SD=0.295) and significant association was found (p<0.001) between them. Furthermore, 70 (62.5%) patients had type I respiratory failure and 42 patients (37.5%) had type II respiratory failure. Patients with type II respiratory failure and hypercapnic patients had prolonged hospital stay with significant p-value (p<0.001). Similarly, significance was observed in the p-value for acidic blood pH, which was <0.05. Conclusions: Increased length of hospital stay is seen in patients with acute exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease with type II respiratory failure. Hence, aggressive early management to correct hypercapnia may lead to decreased hospital stay along with a better outcome. Thus hypercapnia should be considered as one of the important criteria to flag the patient and manage accordingly.

Abstract Introduction: The outcome of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease depends upon the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide This study was aimed to find the role of arterial blood gas parameters during the length of hospital stay among patients admitted for COPD with acute exacerbation. Materials and Methods: This was an observational study conducted in KIST Medical College Teaching Hospital from February 2017 to August 2019. Patients admitted with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were evaluated. Demographic data as well as SPO2, pulmonary function test, and arterial blood gas analysis were recorded and analyzed. Results: Among 112 patients, the female to male ratio was 1.38: 1 with 84.8% over 60 years of age. One-third of patients (n = 38) had exposure to both tobacco smoking and biomass and of them, 86.8% were females. Mean SpO2 was 75.9% and mean FEV1 was 0.92 L (SD = 0.295) and significant association was found (p < 0.001) between them. Furthermore, 70 (62.5%) patients had type I respiratory failure and 42 patients (37.5%) had type II respiratory failure. Patients with type II respiratory failure and hypercapnic patients had prolonged hospital stay with significant p-value (p < 0.001). Similarly, significance was observed in the p-value for blood pH, which was < 0.05. Conclusions: Increased length of hospital stay is seen in patients with AECOPD with type II respiratory failure. Hence, aggressive early management to correct hypercapnia may lead to decreased hospital stay along with a better outcome. Thus hypercapnia should be considered as one of the important criteria to flag the patient and manage accordingly.

Objectives This study aimed to directly measure pH in the lungs, determine lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP), and glucose levels in serum and bronchoalveolar aspirate, and identify bacterial pathogens from bronchoalveolar fluid during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods We performed an observational, analytical case–control study from February 2015 to March 2017. We included 84 patients with AECOPD and 42 with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). All participants underwent detailed medical anamnesis, a clinical examination, chest radiography, spirometry, an arterial blood gas test, bronchoscopy, bacterial culture, and serum/bronchiolar aspirate laboratory testing. Results The mean pH of bronchoalveolar fluid was significantly higher in patients with AECOPD than in patients with stable COPD. The mean lung pH value, bronchoalveolar and serum LDH levels, and serum CRP levels in patients with isolated bacteria were higher than those in patients without isolated bacteria in the AECOPD patient group. Lung pH values in patients with AECOPD were significantly correlated with bronchoalveolar LDH and glucose levels. Conclusions AECOPD is associated with local cell and tissue injury in the lungs, especially in the presence of bacterial pathogens, which is accompanied by a low systemic inflammatory response.

BACKGROUND: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity across the world. Information related to the factors associated with COPD exacerbation and factors determining outcome in hospitalized patient with acute exacerbation of COPD are very important for effective long-term management of this disease. Within this background we attempted to study the factors determining outcome in hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of COPD. METHODS: The study was prospective observational study. Hundred consecutive patients hospitalized with acute exacerbation of COPD were prospectively assessed. RESULTS: Patients required mechanical ventilation and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) transfer were 17 (17%). Patients with hypercapnia pCO2 [(80.24 ± 10.76mmHg P=0.001], pH [(7.24 ± 0.062) P=0.004] with type 2 respiratory failure required ICU transfers with mechanical ventilatory support and these variables were statistically significant in univariate analysis. Patients who were in COPD stage III (FEV1/FVC ratio < 0.35) and having the poor arterial blood gas parameters pH (7.24±0.02) P=0.001, pCO2 [(76.5±13.12mmHg,P=0.006] had bad prognosis. The patients with Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (AECOPD) who were smokers and exposed to indoor air pollution due to use of biomass fuels had poor outcomes. CONCLUSION: Patients with AECOPD hospitalized in a tertiary care center in a developing country suggest that FEV1/FVC impairment, decreased pH, increased pC02, current smoking status and presence of biomass exposure are associated with prolonged hospitalization, ICU admission and death.
