Q83- A 62-year-old ex-smoker with COPD was transferred to the ICU because of progressively worsening hypercapnic respiratory failure. Two days before, he had been admitted to a general medical floor because of respiratory failure secondary to pneumonia. On admission, arterial blood gas measurements with the patient breathing room air were PO2 38 mm Hg, PCO2 64 mm Hg, and pH 7.28. Despite receiving intravenous corticosteroids and antibiotic, supplemental oxygen and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, and inhaled bronchodilators, he was more short of breath, his PO2 had only improved to 52 mm Hg, and his respiratory acidosis had worsened to PCO2 80 mm Hg and pH 7.14. Past history was remarkable for the patient having only one contact with the medical profession in the past 10 years. One year ago, he saw a primary care physician for an insurance physical at which time spirometry revealed an FEV1 of 1.5 L, FVC 4 L, and FEV1/FVC 37%. At that time, he was working full time as a janitor in a capacity that was appropriate for his ninth-grade education. You recommend endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. However, the patient, who is alert, refuses this intervention even after you predict a 95% chance of death without it and a 75% chance of survival with it.
