Effects of Acetazolamide on the Duration of Mechanical Ventilation in Patients With Metabolic Alkalosis. Phase III Multicenter Double-blinded Clinical Trial.
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Acetazolamide and Placebo for Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 140 participants across 8 sites.
Detailed 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).

Daily morning ABGA: * If actual bicarbonate \> 26 mmol/L and pH \> 7.35: administration of enteral capsule of acetazolamide 500 mg . * If actual bicarbonate \> 26 mmol/L and pH \<= 7.35, increase minute ventilation to reach pH \> 7.35 and then administer enteral capsule of acetazolamide 500 mg. * If actual bicarbonate \<= 26 mmol/L: omit treatment that day.
