Among mechanically ventilated patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and metabolic alkalosis, administration of the respiratory stimulant acetazolamide did not significantly reduce the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, according to a study in the February 2 issue of JAMA.

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.

Acetazolamide has been used for decades as a respiratory stimulant for patients with COPD and metabolic alkalosis (an increase in the alkalinity of body fluids due to an increase in alkali intake or a decrease in acid concentration), but no large randomized placebo - controlled trial has been available to confirm this approach.
