Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Lung Resection
Interventions
Device: ventimask plus gas
Device: CPAP plus Gas
Registration Number
NCT02771327
Lead Sponsor
Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañon
Brief Summary

Evaluation of efficacy and safety from 6hours of 7 cmH2O CPAP after weaning in patients undergoing lung resection, on the prevention of atelectasis / pneumonia and gas exchange improve.

Detailed Description

Multicenter randomized clinical trial. 460 patients randomly assigned to treatment and control groups will be studied. The main variables are the frequency of atelectasis or pneumonia, defined by clinical and radiological criteria, the FiO2/PaO2 ratio, 7 and 24 h after weaning, and hospital stay.
