Abstract:Purpose
Although noninvasive ventilation (NIV) may reduce reintubation in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure following abdominal surgery, this strategy has not been specifically assessed in patients with obesity.
Methods
We conducted a post-hoc analysis of a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing NIV delivered via facial mask (inspiratory pressure support level, 5-15cmH2O; positive end-expiratory pressure, 5-10cmH2O; fraction of inspired oxygen titrated to Spo2 ≥ 94%) to standard ox… Show more
