Non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) has been used in hypoxic post-operative cardiac patients but more studies are necessary to clarify its respiratory and hemodynamic effects. Therefore, the investigators objective was to study its effects in the oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) and in hemodynamic variables in this group of patients.
