Abstract
Aim. To study the efficacy and safety of combination therapy of thermal heliox (t-He/O2) and nitric oxide (NO) in patients with acute chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated by hypoxemic, hypercapnic respiratory failure and secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) [group III PAH according to the classification of the World Health Organization].
Materials and methods. The study included 180 patients (GOLD C/D) divided into four groups: Group 1 (t-He/O₂ + non-invasive ventilation – NIV), Group 2 (NO + NIV), Group 3 (t-He/O₂ + NO + NIV), and Group 4 (control, receiving NIV alone). Clinical, gas exchange, and hemodynamic parameters were evaluated.
Results. Combined therapy (Group 3) demonstrated the highest efficacy: respiratory rate decreased to 16.2±0.9 breaths/min, partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO₂) reduced to 41.7±2.9 mm Hg, partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO₂) increased to 80.8±8.9 mm Hg, and exercise tolerance improved (six-minute walk test [6MWT]: +805±156%). Minimal improvements were observed in the control group.
Conclusion. The combination of t-He/O₂ and NO with NIV is safe and more effective than monotherapy or NIV alone.
