Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure compared to standard treatment in preventing the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation in patients who develop acute hypoxemia after liver transplant.

Hypoxemia complicates the recovery of 30-50 % of patients after abdominal surgery; endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation may be required in 8-10 % of cases increasing morbidity and mortality and prolonging intensive care unit and hospital stay.
