A Randomized Controlled Study to Compare the Efficacy of High Frequency Nasal Oxygenation with Conventional Oxygen Therapy for Postoperative Oxygenation in Patients Undergoing Exploratory Laparotomies

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Objective: Postoperative pulmonary complication (PPC) is one of the leading causes of poor surgical outcome leading to longer hospital or intensive care unit stay and mortality especially with upper abdominal surgeries having long duration. High-frequency nasal oxygenation (HFNO) has recently been employed for postoperative oxygenation following extubation in surgical patients. Methods: ratio along with haemodynamic parameters, incidence of PPCs/acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF), atelectasis and comfort score were also recorded. Results: , haemodynamic variables, complications, incidence of PPCs/AHRF and atelectasis remained comparable between the two groups. Conclusion: Preventive use of HFNO for post operative oxygenation amongst moderate to high-risk patients scheduled for exploratory abdominal surgery improves oxygenation.
