Why the study?
Does non-invasive ventilatory support improve pulmonary function in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting compared to conventional physiotherapy?
Does non-invasive ventilatory support improve pulmonary function in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting compared to conventional physiotherapy?
Preventive use of non-invasive ventilation after CABG effectively preserves pulmonary function.
May support preventive NIV after CABG; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
We conclude that preventive use of NIV can be considered as an effective means to decrease the negative effect of coronary surgery on pulmonary function.
