Notes

Noninvasive ventilation

Postoperative acute respiratory failure

Failure of NIV therapy can be considered the worse complication due to the risk of prolonged time to intubation and should be early detected

Major complications (uncommon): barotrauma and hemodynamic effects. Minor complication (common after prolonged use): aspiration risk, arm edema, deep venous thrombosis, discomfort, facial skin lesions, nasal or oral dryness, nasal congestion, and gastric insufflations

Progressive increase in pressure support and PEEP level to relieve dyspnea and improve gas exchange

Evidences of survival benefits come from lung resection surgery [16], liver resection surgery [24], and solid organ transplantation [26]


NIV Noninvasive ventilation; PEEP positive end expiratory pressure
