For the acetazolamide group (n
= 187), compared with the placebo group (n
= 193), no significant between - group differences were found for median duration of mechanical ventilation -LRB--16.0 hours), duration of weaning off mechanical ventilation -LRB--0.9 hours), or for other respiratory parameter -
values (respiratory frequency, tidal volume, and minute ventilation), although
daily changes of serum bicarbonate and number of days with metabolic alkalosis decreased significantly more in the acetazolamide group.
