Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation can reduce perioperative mortality in acute aortic dissection patients with hypoxemia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypoxemia is a common critical respiratory complication in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD) before operation and results in adverse outcomes. This study aimed to identify the optimal oxygenation treatment for AAD patients with hypoxemia in the emergency department (ED).

Methods

This was a retrospective, observational, cohort study. We retrospectively collected data from 187 adult patients with AAD and hypoxemia who had been admitted to our ED. All patients were divided into nasal cannula group (n=91), Venturi mask group (n=60), and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) group (n=36). The primary outcome was overall mortality in ED; the secondary outcomes were preoperative intubation rate and postoperative mortality, length of intensive care
