- Abstract
The article discusses a study investigating predictors of mechanical ventilation and treatment approaches for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)-induced angioedema. The study involved adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). It analyzed correlation of corticosteroid use and time of extubation and ICU length of stay. It found that history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma and pharyngeal angioedema were predictors of mechanical ventilation.
