Abstract

When high-risk patients undergo abdominal surgery, there is a possibility of increased postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), morbidity, and mortality. Using non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the postoperative phase could prevent and treat PPCs by reducing Physicians must have the necessary expertise, utilize appropriate settings, and employ proper NIV application techniques when considering NIV. Our chapter aims to provide an overview of the mechanisms and risk factors associated with postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). We will also outline the rationales and benefits of using NIV as a preventive or treatment strategy for PPCs. Additionally, practical aspects of the NIV application will be discussed in detail.
