  • Title: Preventing acute hypercapnic respiratory failure in COPD patients.
    Author: Moore D.
    Journal: Nurs Stand; ; 27(47):35-41. PubMed ID: 23987974.
    Abstract:
    Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at risk of developing acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) if given high-concentration uncontrolled oxygen inappropriately. This article analyses a critical incident involving a patient who developed AHRF, and identifies areas for improvement in clinical practice that would improve the standard of care for patients with COPD.
