Extended-time of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation Improves Tissue Perfusion after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: a Randomized Clinical Trial
Objective: To compare the effects of extended- versus short-time
noninvasive positive pressure ventilation on pulmonary function, tissue
perfusion, and clinical outcomes in the early postoperative period following
coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with preserved left ventricular
function.Methods: Patients were randomized into two groups according to noninvasive positive
pressure ventilation intensity: short-time noninvasive positive pressure
ventilation n=20 (S-NPPV) and extended-time noninvasive positive pressure
ventilation n=21 (E-NPPV). S-NPPV was applied for 60 minutes during
immediate postoperative perio ...
