Oxygen therapy is first-line treatment for hypoxaemic acute respiratory failure (ARF). High-
flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO) represents an alternative to conventional oxygen …

Background Postoperative pulmonary complications, generally defined as any pulmonary
abnormality occurring in the postoperative period, are still a significant issue in clinical …

After the institution of positive-pressure ventilation, the use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV)
through an interface substantially increased. The first technique was continuous positive …

The efficacy of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in acute respiratory failure secondary to SARS-
CoV-2 infection remains controversial. Current literature mainly examined efficacy, safety …

During flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) the arterial partial pressure of oxygen can
drop, increasing the risk for respiratory failure. To avoid desaturation episodes during the …

Background The effect of noninvasive respiratory support (NRS), including high-flow nasal
oxygen, bi-level positive airway pressure and continuous positive airway pressure …
