Management of Post-operative Respiratory Failure by Using NIV and High Velocity Nasal Insufflation (HVNI)

Brief Summary

Postoperative respiratory failure (PORF) remains a critical driver of morbidity, mortality, and incremental care costs in surgical populations. Traditional escalation often involves invasive mechanical ventilation, which is associated with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stays, and increased resource burden.
