No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) has been used in hypoxic post-operative cardiac patients but more studies are necessary to clarify its respiratory and hemodynamic effects. Therefore, the investigators objective was to study its effects in the oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) and in hemodynamic variables in this group of patients.

Conditions

  • Heart; Dysfunction Postoperative, Cardiac Surgery

Interventions

DEVICE

VPAP II®

VPAP group:inspiratory pressure to generate 6ml/kg of weight and expiratory pressure of 7cmH2O plus oxygen therapy (FIO2=40%) during three hours.
