Effects of non-invasive ventilation in subjects undergoing cardiac surgery on length of hospital stay and cardiac-pulmonary complications: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac surgery often leads to pulmonary complications. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a mechanical ventilation modality that may help to prevent the pulmonary complications, and the role of the prophylactic use of NIV in patients after cardiac surgery remains controversial.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Central for randomized controlled trials comparing the use of NIV (continues positive airway pressure or bi-level positive airway pressure) with standard treatment in post-cardiac surgery subjects without language restriction. Two investigators screened the eligible studies up to July, 2019. Meta-analysis using random effect model or fixed effect model was conducted for pulmonary complications, mortality, rate of reintubation a
