Abstract
BACKGROUND Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are associated with the risk of lung cancer and its mortality. However, the impact of ILA on treatment-related complications and survival in patients who underwent curative surgery is still unknown. RESEARCH QUESTION This study aimed to evaluate the significance of the presence of computed tomography-diagnosed ILA and histopathologically matched interstitial abnormalities on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and the long-term survival of patients who underwent surgical treatment for lung cancer. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A matched case-control study was designed to compare PPCs and mortality among 50 patients with ILA, 50 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and 200 controls. Cases and controls were matched by sex, age, smoking history, tumour location, the extent of surgery, tumour histology and pathological TNM stage. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the OR of the prevalence of PPCs increased to 9.56 (95% CI 2.85 to 32.1, p<0.001) in the ILA group and 56.50 (95% CI 17.92 to 178.1, p<0.001) in the IPF group. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of the control, ILA and IPF groups were 76% (95% CI 71% to 83%), 52% (95% CI 37% to 74%) and 32% (95% CI 19% to 53%), respectively (log-rank p<0.001). Patients with ILA had better 5-year OS than those with IPF (log-rank p=0.046) but had worse 5-year OS than those in the control group (log-rank p=0.002). CONCLUSIONS The presence of radiological and pathological features of ILA in patients with lung cancer undergoing curative surgery was associated with frequent complications and decreased survival.

Postoperative hypoxaemic acute respiratory failure after neoadjuvant treatment for lung cancer: radiologic findings and risk factors. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2022; 63:6935786. [PMID: 36534820 DOI: 10.1093/ejcts/ezac569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the rate of hypoxaemic acute respiratory failure (hARF) on patients undergoing surgery for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, to describe clinical and radiological findings and to explore potential risk factors for this complication. METHODS Retrospective review of medical records of all patients who underwent surgery for NSCLC after neoadjuvant chemotherapy at a single centre between 2014 and 2021. Computed tomography scans of patients who developed hARF were reviewed by an experienced radiologist to provide a quantitative assessment of radiologic alterations. RESULTS The final cohort consisted of 211 patients. Major morbidity was 13.3% (28/211) and hARF was the most common major complication (n = 11, 5.2%). Postoperative mortality was 1.9% (4/211) and occurred only in patients who experienced hARF. Most patients who experienced hARF underwent major procedures, including pneumonectomy (n = 3), lobectomy with chest wall resection (n = 3), bronchial or vascular reconstructions (n = 3) and extended or bilateral resections (n = 2). Analysis of computed tomography findings revealed that crazy paving and ground glass were the most common alterations and were more represented in the non-operated lung. Male gender, current smoking status, pathologic stage III-IV and operative time resulted significant risk factors for hARF at univariable analysis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS hARF is the main cause of major morbidity and mortality after neoadjuvant therapy and surgery for NSCLC and occurs more frequently after complex and lengthier surgical procedures. Overall, our findings suggest that operative time may represent the most important risk factor for hARF.

Abstract
Postoperative acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following a general thoracic procedure is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offers an alternate means of cardiopulmonary support in the setting of refractory respiratory failure. We report indications and outcomes patients who after complex general thoracic surgery developed ARDS requiring ECMO support. We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients requiring venovenous (VV) ECMO support in the postoperative period following a general thoracic surgical procedure from January 2011 to December 2019. Exclusion criteria include those who underwent a cardiac procedure, venoarterial (VA) ECMO, cardiothoracic transplantation, or required ECMO only for intraoperative support. Forty instances of postoperative VV ECMO were utilized in patients who underwent a surgery with the thoracic surgical service. Lung procedures were the most common index operations performed (45%) followed by esophageal procedures (40%). Mean time to ECMO initiation from the index operation was 5.45 days with a range of 0 days to 1.3 months. Median length of ECMO support was 9.41 days with a range of 12 hours to 33 days. Patients were cannulated in an elective (70%) or emergent (30%) fashion. ECMO-related complications included a major bleeding event in seven patients. Thirty day survival was 62.5% for the entire cohort and 52.5% of patients were discharged from the hospital and 80.95% of these patients were still alive 90 days after discharge. ECMO is a viable means of cardiopulmonary support that can provide a survival advantage for patients who experience severe refractory respiratory failure following a complex general thoracic surgery.

Ventilator Parameters in the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Postoperative Patients: A Preliminary Study. Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:diagnostics11040648. [PMID: 33916745 PMCID: PMC8065551 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics11040648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2021] [Revised: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 04/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the usefulness of ventilator parameters in the prediction of development and outcome of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in postoperative patients with esophageal or lung cancer on admission to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU). A total of 32 post-operative patients with lung or esophageal cancer from SICU in a tertiary medical center were retrospectively analyzed. The study patients were divided into an ARDS group (n = 21) and a non-ARDS group (n = 11). The ARDS group contained the postoperative patients who developed ARDS after lung or esophageal cancer surgery. The ventilator variables were analyzed in this study. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to reduce the correlated ventilator variables to a small set of variables. The top three ventilator variables with large coefficients, as determined by PCA, were considered as sensitive variables and included in the analysis model based on the rule of 10 events per variable. Firth logistic regression with selective stepwise elimination procedure was performed to identify the most important predictors of morbidity and mortality in patients with ARDS. Ventilator parameters, including rapid shallow breath index during mechanical ventilation (RSBIv), rate pressure product of ventilation (RPPv), rate pressure volume index (RPVI), mechanical work (MW), and inspiration to expiration time ratio (IER), were analyzed in this study. It was found that the ARDS patients had significantly greater respiratory rate (RR), airway resistance (Raw), RSBIv, RPPv, RPVI, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and IER and significantly lower respiratory interval (RI), expiration time (Te), flow rate (V˙), tidal volume (VT), dynamic compliance (Cdyn), mechanical work of ventilation (MW), and MW/IER ratio than the non-ARDS patients. The non-survivors of ARDS had significantly greater peak inspiratory pressure above PEEP (PIP), RSBIv, RPPv, and RPVI than the survivors of ARDS. By using PCA, the MW/IER was found to be the most important predictor of the development of ARDS, and both RPPv and RPVI were significant predictors of mortality in patients with ARDS. In conclusion, some ventilator parameters, such as RPPv, RPVI, and MW/IER defined in this study, can be derived from ventilator readings and used to predict the development and outcome of ARDS in mechanically ventilated patients on admission to the SICU.

Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Postoperative Lung Injury during One-Lung Ventilation in Thoracoscopic Surgery. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:4976205. [PMID: 33083468 PMCID: PMC7557917 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4976205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2020] [Revised: 09/03/2020] [Accepted: 09/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on postoperative lung injury in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. Methods From March 2019 to October 2019, 40 patients were randomly divided into two groups: dexmedetomidine group (group D) and control group (group C). Except recording the general condition of the patients in both groups preoperatively and intraoperatively, the oxygenation index (OI) and alveolar-arterial oxygen partial pressure difference (A-aDO2) were monitored at admission (T0), immediately after one-lung ventilation (T1), 0.5 h after one-lung ventilation (T2), and 15 minutes after inhaling air before leaving the room (T3). The content of IL-8 in arterial blood was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at T0 and T2, and the expression of AQP1 protein in isolated lung tissue was measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (atelectasis, pneumonia, and acute respiratory distress syndrome) was used as the index of lung injury. Results There was no significant difference in the general condition before and during operation between the two groups. There was no significant difference in arterial blood IL-8 content between the two groups at the T0 time point, but the arterial blood IL-8 content at the T2 time point was significantly higher than that at the T0 time point, especially in group C. The results of immunohistochemistry and Western blot showed that the expression level of AQP1 protein in the isolated lung tissue of group D was significantly higher than that of group C (P < 0 05). At T3, the OI of group D was significantly higher than that of group C, and the A-aDO2 of group D was significantly lower than that of group C (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative PPCs between the two groups. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can reduce the level of plasma IL-8 and upregulate the expression of AQP1 in the lung tissue of patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery under one-lung ventilation, but it has no significant effect on the incidence of postoperative PPCs. Dexmedetomidine can be safely used in thoracoscopic surgery and has a certain protective effect on lung injury.

Abstract
Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) is the most serious pulmonary complication after lung
resection. Although the beneficial effects of low-dose corticosteroids have
been demonstrated in patients with postoperative ALI, there are limited data
on optimal corticosteroid treatment. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 58 patients who were diagnosed with ALI among
7593 patients who underwent lung cancer surgery between January 2009 and
December 2016. Results: Of the 58 patients, 42 (72%) received corticosteroid treatment within 72 h
(early treatment group) and 16 (28%) received corticosteroid treatment more
than 72 h after ALI occurred (late treatment group). The early treatment
group demonstrated a higher response to corticosteroid treatment compared
with the late treatment group (95% versus 69%,
respectively, p = 0.014), had an improved lung injury score
(86% versus 63%, p = 0.072), and were more
likely to be successfully weaned from the ventilator within 7 days (57%
versus 39%, p = 0.332). During
corticosteroid treatment, the early treatment group had a lower rate of
delirium (24% versus 63%, p = 0.012)
compared with the late treatment group. No significant differences in length
of stay (30 versus 37 days, p = 0.254) or
in-hospital mortality (43% versus 38%, p =
0.773) were observed; however, the early treatment group tended to have a
higher rate of successful weaning than the late treatment group
(p = 0.098, log-rank test). Conclusions: Early initiation of corticosteroid treatment improved lung injury and
promoted ventilator weaning in patients with ALI following lung resection
for lung cancer.

Abstract
Tracheobronchial tumors with involvement of the carina represent a challenging problem in the pulmonary surgery. Carinal resection is referred to removal and reconstruction of the airway itself, whereas concomitant removal of the lung parenchyma (usually a whole lung) is termed as carinal pneumonectomy. Thorough preoperative workup of these patients is mandatory. Meticulous surgical technique and aggressive postoperative management is required for the best outcomes in these difficult cases. In the paper authors review surgical technique, evaluation and management of this challenging patient population.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the most common form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, often progresses to restrictive respiratory disturbance and mortality, typically within 10 years. IPF frequently coexists with lung cancer, and the combination of these two disease entities is far more difficult to treat than either lung cancer or IPF alone. In particular, surgery for lung cancer with IPF in the background increases postoperative morbidity and mortality by exacerbating pre-existing IPF, i.e., acute exacerbation of IPF (AEIPF). Furthermore, the long-term outcome after lung cancer surgery is considerably worsened by the presence of IPF. We present here a comprehensive review of AEIPF and the long-term outcomes after surgery.

Abstract
Background Extra vascular lung water (EVLW) following pulmonary resection increases due to fluid infusion and rises in capillary surface and permeability of the alveolar capillary membranes. EVLW increase clinically correlates to pulmonary oedema and it may generate impairments of gas exchanges and acute lung injury. An early and reliable assessment of postoperative EVLW, especially following major pulmonary resection, is useful in terms of reducing the risk of postoperative complications. The currently used methods, though satisfying these criteria, tend to be invasive and cumbersome and these factors might limit its use. The presence and burden of EVLW has been reported to correlate with sonographic B-line artefacts (BLA) assessed by lung ultrasound (LUS). This observational study investigated if bedside LUS could detect EVLW increases after major pulmonary resection. Due to the clinical association between EVLW increase and impairment of gas exchange, secondary aims of the study included investigating for associations between any observed EVLW increases and both respiratory ratio (PaO2/FiO2) and fluid retention, measured by brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Methods Overall, 74 major pulmonary resection patients underwent bedside LUS before surgery and at postoperative days 1 and 4, in the inviolate hemithorax which were divided into four quadrants. BLA were counted with a four-level method. The respiratory ratio PaO2/FiO2 and fluid retention were both assessed. Results BLA resulted being increased at postoperative day 1 (OR 9.25; 95% CI, 5.28-16.20; P<0.0001 vs. baseline), and decreased at day 4 (OR 0.50; 95% CI, 0.31-0.80; P=0.004 vs. day 1). Moreover, the BLA increase was associated with both increased BNP (OR 1.005; 95% CI, 1.003-1.008; P<0.0001) and body weight (OR 1.040; 95% CI, 1.008-1.073; P=0.015). Significant inverse correlations were observed between the BLA values and the PaO2/FiO2 respiratory ratios. Conclusions Our results suggest that LUS, due to its non-invasiveness, affordability and capacity to detect increases in EVLW, might be useful in better managing postoperative patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The morbidity and mortality of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains high, and the strategic focus of ARDS research has shifted toward identifying patients at high risk of mortality early in the course of illness. This study intended to identify the heart rate variability (HRV) measure that can predict the outcome of patients with ARDS on admission to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU). METHODS Patients who had lung or esophageal cancer surgery were included either in the ARDS group (n = 21) if they developed ARDS after surgery or in the control group (n = 11) if they did not. The ARDS patients were further stratified into survivors and non-survivors subgroups according to their outcomes. HRV measures of the patients were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The mean RR interval (mRRI), high-frequency power (HFP) and product of low-/high-frequency power ratio tidal volume and tidal volume (LHR*VT) were significantly lower (p < 0.05), while the normalized HFP to VT ratio (nHFP/VT) was significantly higher in the ARDS patients (p = 0.011). The total power (TP), low-frequency power (LFP), HFP and HFP/VT were all significantly higher in the non-survived ARDS patients, whereas Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) was significantly lower in the non-survived ARDS patients. After adjustment for RASS, age and gender, firth logistic regression analysis identified the HFP, TP as the significant independent predictors of mortality for ARDS patients. CONCLUSIONS The vagal modulation of thoracic surgical patients with ARDS was enhanced as compared to that of non-ARDS patients, and the non-survived ARDS patients had higher vagal activity than those of survived ARDS patients. The vagal modulation-related parameters such as TP and HFP were independent predictors of mortality in patients with ARDS on admission to the SICU, and the HFP was found to be the best predictor of mortality for those ARDS patients. Increased vagal modulation might be an indicator for poor prognosis in critically ill patients following thoracic surgery.

Abstract
Many studies have confirmed that the implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols has the advantages of reducing the potential complications after thoracic surgery and the length of hospital stay. The ERAS program involves a multidisciplinary team, aimed at integrating evidence-based knowledge into clinical practice in order to reduce the patient's stress response to the surgical procedure and improve the response to stress, guaranteeing a combination of better outcomes and cost savings. All this would not be possible without the improvement of minimally invasive surgical techniques, progression of anesthesia, pain control, and careful patient preparation. In this setting, a preoperative personal counselling may play a key role to reduce stress, fear or anxiety and improve the morbidity of patients, enabling them to achieve functional and psychological compensatory mechanisms more quickly. Preoperative patient counselling, performed using verbal, written or multimedia materials, is crucial in order to achieve the goal of the ERAS project: making the patient a potentially active participant and the main character of his recovery, able to positively impact himself throughout the surgical and healing process. This report is aimed at evaluating patient information and care-plans in thoracic surgery, reviewing the available evidence on ERAS pathways, and demonstrating our ideal program as discussed and shared among the Italian Thoracic Surgery Units accredited in the video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the pathogenic role of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in increased pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell permeability induced by one lung ventilation (OLV) in rabbits. METHODS Forty-eight healthy Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into control group (group C), saline pretreatment group (group S), bestatin (a leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) inhibitor) plus saline pretreatment group (group B), OLV group (group O), saline pretreatment plus OLV group (group SO) and bestatin plus saline pretreatment with OLV group (group BO). ELISA was used to detect LTB4 content in the lung tissues, and LTA4H and phospholipase Cεl (PLCEl) expressions were examined by Western blotting and quantitative PCR. The wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio of the lung, lung permeability index and the expressions of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) protein and mRNA in the lung tissues were determined to evaluate the permeability of the pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs). The severities of lung injury were evaluated by lung histomorphological scores. RESULTS No significant differences were found among groups C, S and B except that LTA4H expressions was significantly lower in group B than in groups C and S (P<0.05). OLV significantly increased the expressions of LTA4H (P<0.05) and resulted in LTB4 overproduction in the lungs (P<0.05) accompanied by significantly enhanced PLCE1 expression and PMVEC permeability (P<0.05). Pretreatment with bestatin, significantly reduced the expression of LTA4H and LTB4 production (P<0.05) and down-regulated the expression of PLCE1 in the lungs of the rabbits receiving OLV (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Bestatin plays a protective role in OLV-induced rabbit lung injury by downregulating LTA4H to reduce the production of LTB4 in the lungs. LTB4 can increase PMVEC permeability by up-regulating PLCE1 expression in rabbits with OLV-induced lung injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the mechanisms of up regulated expression of cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (CPLA2) induced by one lung ventilation (OLV) by investigating the interactions between nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) and C-PLA2. METHODS Forty-eight healthy Japanese white rabbits were randomized into control group, solvent treatment group (group S), NF-κB inhibitor (PDTC)/solvent treatment group ( group PS), C-PLA2 inhibitor (AACOCF3)/solvent treatment group (group AS), OLV group (group O), solvent treatment plus OLV group (SO group), NFκB inhibitor (PDTC)/solvent treatment plus OLV group (group PSO) and CPLA2 inhibitor (AACOCF3)/solvent treatment plus OLV group (group ASO). ELISA was used to detect arachidonic acid (AA) content in the lung tissues, and NFκB and CPLA2 expressions were detected by Western blotting and quantitative PCR. Lung injuries were assessed based on the lung histological score, and the polymorphonuclear leukocyte count in the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid, myeloperoxidase (MPO) content in the lung tissues, and lung wet/dry weight (W/D) raito were determined. RESULTS Treatment of the rabbits with the solvent did not produce any adverse effects. OLV caused obvious lung injury in the rabbits and up regulated the expressions of CPLA2 and NFκB in the lung tissues (P<0.05). In rabbits without OLV, treatment with AACOCF3 or PDTC significantly down regulated both CPLA2 and NFκB expressions without affecting the other parameters. In rabbits with OLV, treatment with AACOCF3 or PDTC obviously lowered CPLA2 and NFκB expressions and lessened the OLV-induced lung injuries. CONCLUSION Both C-PLA2 and NF-κB play important roles and show interactions in OLV-induced lung injury in rabbits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is widely used in refractory cardiac or pulmonary failure. Because complications of general thoracic surgery frequently involve the heart or lungs, ECLS can be a useful option. Therefore, we retrospectively reviewed our experience with ECLS after general thoracic surgery. METHODS There were 17,185 adult general thoracic surgery procedures between 2005 and 2013 at our institution, including resection of the lung (n = 10,434; 60.7%), esophagus (n = 1,847; 0.7%), and other procedures (n = 4,904; 28.5%). Twenty-nine patients (0.2%) were supported by ECLS postoperatively. RESULTS The median age was 64 years (range, 24 to 81). Primary operations were lobectomy (n = 13; 44.8%), pneumonectomy (n = 11; 37.9%), and bilobectomy (n = 5; 17.2%). The initial mode of ECLS was venovenous in 20 patients (69.0%) and venoarterial in 9 patients (31.0%). There were 10 patients (34.5%) who survived to decannulation and 7 patients (24.1%) who survived to discharge. Over the same period, the survival to decannulation rate and survival to discharge rate were 49.5% and 35.0%, respectively, among all ECLS patients (n = 759) at our institution. The hospital mortality of patients with surgery to ECLS time of longer than 2 days was 90.9%. Multivariate analysis revealed that a longer surgery to ECLS time was a risk factor for hospital mortality (odds ratio 1.720, 95% confidence interval: 1.039 to 2.849, p = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS ECLS after general thoracic surgery can be a viable rescue therapy option. Late presentation of complications or ECLS for late complications of general thoracic surgery may be predictors of death.

Abstract
Pirfenidone (PFD) is a non-peptide synthetic molecule issued as a broad-spectrum anti-fibrotic drug with the ability to decrease TGF-β1, TNF-α, PDGF and COL1A1 expression, which is highly related to prevent or remove excessive deposition of scar tissue in several organs. Basic and clinical evidence suggests that PFD may safely slow or inhibit the progressive fibrosis swelling after tissue injuries. Furthermore, a number of evidence suggests that this molecule will have positive effects in the treatment of other inflammatory diseases. This review contains current research in which PFD has been used as the treatment of several diseases, and focus mainly in the outcomes related to improve inflammation and fibrogenesis. Therefore, the main goal of this review is to focus on the novel findings of PFD efficacy rather than deepen in the chemical aspects of the molecule.

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome following esophagectomy for esophageal cancer: a clinical comparative study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) in the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. METHODS In this retrospective evaluation, we included 64 patients with ARDS following esophagectomy for esophageal cancer between January 2009 and December 2011. The primary evaluations were 28-day fatality and actual fatality. The secondary evaluations were sex, age, onset time, pH value, PaO2/FiO2, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE-II) score, and presence or absence after surgery of major surgery-related complications such as cardiac arrest, anastomotic fistula, and acute renal dysfunction. RESULTS NPPV applied as the first-line intervention for ARDS following esophagectomy for esophageal cancer avoided intubation in 30 patients (30/64, 48.4%). There were no significant differences in gender, age, PaO2/FiO2, SOFA score, or APACHE-II score between the NPPV group and the patients who required invasive positive pressure ventilation (IPPV group) (P>0.05) at the time of onset, while differences in the PaO2/FiO2 (P<0.05) after 24 h of NPPV and presence of major surgery-related complications were highly significant (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS NPPV may be an effective option for the treatment of ARDS/acute lung injury (ALI) following esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. However, conversion to invasive mechanical ventilation should be considered in patients with severe postoperative complications such as acute renal dysfunction and cardiac arrest and in those with PaO2/FiO2 <180 after 2 h of NPPV.
