- Abstract
- In this observation, we report a novel use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in the operating room to support ventilation in an acidotic hypercapnic patient with severe acute chronic respiratory failure refuted for general anaesthesia, operated under spinal anaesthesia for a femoral fracture. The feasibility of noninvasive ventilatory assistance during surgery performed under regional anaesthesia is reported here. In selected cases, noninvasive ventilation can be used in the management of patients with acute or chronic respiratory failure requiring an urgent surgical intervention but in whom the respiratory status excluded a general anaesthesia.
