Abstract

Thoracic surgical procedures have a significant impact on respiratory function, mediated by multiple surgery-related and patient-related factors. Therefore, thoracic surgery is at high risk for developing postoperative pulmonary complications, and attributable mortality due to postoperative lung injury is higher compared to abdominal surgery. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) can improve the respiratory function in several ways and showed advantages in the prevention and treatment of acute respiratory failure occurring in the postoperative period. Several small studies investigated the role of NPPV in the perioperative care of the patient undergoing thoracic surgery, including lung resections. The aim of this chapter is to introduce the basics of NPPV and to summarize the actual knowledge about its role in thoracic surgery.
