Metabolomics in COPD Acute Respiratory Failure Requiring Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation
We aimed to investigate whether metabolomic analysis can discriminate acute respiratory failure due to COPD exacerbation from respiratory failure due to heart failure and pneumonia. Since COPD exacerbation is often overdiagnosed, we focused on those COPD exacerbations that were severe enough to requ...
