Background: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of medroxyprogesterone on hospital short clinical outcomes and ABG parameters in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation under treatments with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) treated with progesterone 15 mg in comparison with placebo.
Materials And Methods: This is a double-blinded clinical trial that was performed in 2020-2021 in Isfahan, Iran, on 60 patients with COPD exacerbation that require NIV. All patients received short-acting beta-agonists, short-acting anticholinergics, systemic corticosteroids, and NIV.
