Abstract:
:Pulmonary complications after hepatectomy occur with relative frequency and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Moreover, their prevention is often difficult. We report using prophylactic bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation, initiated just after the operation, for the successful postoperative respiratory management of three patients predisposed to the development of pulmonary complications. One patient had insufficient pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) 0.95 l; FEV(1)/forced vital capacity 40.8%) caused by previous thoracoplasty. The other two patients were obese and had obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). None of the patients required endotracheal intubation after hepatectomy, although the two with severe OSAS suffered pulmonary thromboembolism postoperatively. Bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation was well tolerated and there were no adverse effects, suggesting its effectiveness for preventing pulmonary complications after hepatectomy.
