Abstract
The creation of a RICU by a respiratory medicine department is viable in Spain. Such units make it possible to treat a large number of patients with a low rate of therapeutic failures. Exacerbated COPD was the most common diagnosis on admission to our RICU, and the need for NIV the most common criterion for admission.
