Highlights
Postoperative complications related to pulmonary and cardiovascular functions are higher in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) after cardiac surgery (1)
BIPAP was applied in spontaneous breathing at inspiratory positive airway pressure of 8 to12 cmH2O and expiratory positive airway pressure of 4 to 6 cmH2O
The weaning outcome was assessed depending on the following parameters: extubation success, mechanical ventilation duration, duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, reintubation rate, and mortality rate
Summary
The two different weaning trial methods including Ttube and biphasic positive airway pressure (BiPAP) was compared in patients with COPD after failed extubation postoperatively
