Inclusion Criteria

This study included patients of both sexes; aged 18 years or older; who underwent to coronary artery bypass grafting with median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients with hemodynamic instability before noninvasive ventilation; who were not cooperative or who had contraindications for the use of noninvasive ventilation; chronic pulmonary disease; absence of blood gas analysis in some of the study phases; physical limitations that compromised the performance of functional tests were excluded; difficulty understanding to perform the applied tests; surgical reintervention; more than 24 hours in invasive mechanical ventilation; patients who refused to sign the consent form.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary endpoint was oxygenation. Oxygenation was assessed through blood gas analysis with arterial oxygen pressure values and the oxygenation index. The progression of oxygenation was determined by collecting arterial blood at the beginning, end of non invasive ventilation and one day later.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The secondary was the impact on functional variables such as Functional Independence Measure (FIM), functional capacity, peripheral muscle strength, death, length of stay in the Intensive Care Unit and hospital. Functionality was assessed using the MIF scale, functional capacity through the six-minute walk test, peripheral muscle strength through the Medical Research Council and length of stay for the days spent in the Intensive Care Unit and in the hospital.
