Prophylactic Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (nCPAP) Following Bowel Surgery

University of Saskatchewan·interventional·Posted Mar 16, 2011·Updated Jun 4, 2018

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating nCPAP and Low Flow Oxygen for Postoperative Pulmonary Atelectasis and Surgery. Completed, enrolled 40 participants.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether prophylactic nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) improves post-operative pulmonary function following elective bowel surgery. The investigators hypothesize that one hour of nCPAP in the PACU will result in a higher partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) when compared to the standard treatment of low flow oxygen applied by face mask.
