Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the effects of CPAP at 5-7 cmH2O vs standard treatment on the frequency of atelectasis/pneumonia, as determined by clinical and radiographic criteria, in patients undergoing Lung resection surgery and no more than 4 hours of postoperative mechanical ventilation.;Secondary Objective: 1)compare the frequencies of patients with a PaO2/FiO2 <300 with CPAP at 5-7 cmH2O vs standard treatment the morning following the surgical procedure on patients .2) compare the frequencies of patients presenting persistent air leak with CPAP at 7 cmH2O vs standard treatment on patients .3)To compare the frequencies of patients presenting any pulmonary or cardiac complications with CPAP at 5-7 cmH2O vs standard treatment.4) compare the effects of CPAP at 5-7 cmH2O vs standard treatment in the hospital stay from the day of surgery until hospital discharge on patients.5)compare frecuency of patients on CPAP at 5-7 cmH2O group vs standard treatment staying more than one day in the postanesthesic care unit.;Primary end point(s): the frequency of atelectasis/pneumonia by the intervention (CPAP at 5-7 cmH2O, 6h) vs the active comparator(standard treatment), as determined by clinical and radiographic criteria, in patients undergoing lung resection surgery and no more than 4 h of postoperative mechanical ventilation.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 hours after extubation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): treatment, as determined by arterial blood gas analysis and the FiO2 supplied by the Ventura mask.2)significative difference betweene frequencies of patients with a PaO2/FiO2 <300 with CPAP at 5-7 cmH2O vs standard treatment the morning following the surgical procedure .3)A difference of a day hospital stay from the day of surgery until discharge between the two groups. 4) Compare the proportion of patients requiring more than one day of admission at PACU between two groups . 5)Frequencies of patients presenting persistent air leak in the two groups.6)Frequencies of patients presenting any pulmonary or cardiac complications .;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1) 24 hours after extubation 2) the morning following the surgical procedure 3)at hospital discharge or exitus 4) at PACU or discharge(or exitus in PACU) 5)at hospital discharge 6) 30 days after surgery | — |
