Aminophylline in acute exacerbation of COPD: Utility and treatment effects in hypercapnic respiratory failure (ACUTE): A pilot observational study
Aminophylline did not affect the length of hospital or ICU stay but improved hypercapnia and dyspnea severity in patients with refractory COPD exacerbations. We believe it should be used in severe acidotic COPD exacerbations unresponsive to conventional therapies, with an aim to correct hypercapnia.
