Summary
This study looked at whether using a non-invasive breathing mask (NIV) could help patients who develop breathing problems after abdominal surgery avoid needing a breathing tube. 300 adults who had abdominal surgery and then had rapid, shallow breathing were randomly assigned to get either the mask or standard oxygen. The main goal was to see if the mask reduced the need for intubation within 7 days.
