Noninvasive Ventilation in Postoperative Care of Lung Transplant Recipients
Transplantation Proceedings, 05/27/09

Feltracco P et al. - Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), which provides consolidated treatment of both acute and chronic respiratory failure, is increasingly being used in the postoperative care of lung transplant patients. Rapid extubation plus prompt NIPPV application is a useful strategy for lung recipients who do not completely fulfill the criteria for safe extubation. The helmet system has emerged as the preferred interface; in cases of dyshomogeneous dorsobasal lung infiltrates, it allows effective ventilatory support in the prone position as well.
