There is no universally acceptable protocol for the withdrawal of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients presenting with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHcRF). This study was carried out to evaluate immediate against stepwise reduction in NIV. Sixty COPD patients with AHcRF who were managed with NIV were randomized into two groups: immediate NIV withdrawal (group A) and stepwise reduction of NIV duration (group B). The rate of successful NIV withdrawal, time to recurrence of hypercapnic respiratory failure, total duration of NIV use, and hospital length of stay (LOS) were compared among the two groups. NIV was successfully withdrawn in 51/60 (85 %) patients. NIV was successfully withdrawn in 24/30 (80%) patients in group A and 27/30 (90%) patients in group B (p=0.472). The total duration of NIV use was significantly lower in group A (38.97±17 hours) as compared to group B (64.3±7.74 hours) (p<0.0001). LOS was significantly lower in group A (5.8±1.6 days) as compared to group B (7.7±0.61 days) (p<0.0001). To conclude, immediate withdrawal of the NIV after recovery from respiratory failure among patients with exacerbation of COPD is feasible and does not increase the risk of weaning failure.
