Study of the Application of CPAP to Reduce Complications and Improve Lung Cancer Ablation Radiofrequency Treatment

Application of CPAP to Reduce Complications and Improve Treatment of Radiofrequency Ablation of Lung Cancer Under Conscious Sedation. A Randomized Study

The project aims to study whether the application of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) of 4 cm water vapor is a safe method in pulmonary radiofrequency intervention (PRF) lung cancer under conscious sedation compared with placebo. And, assess whether CPAP prevents atelectasis formation and consequently reduces the potential complications of PRF and improves procedural success

• Patient able to undergo tests and examinations required by the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with CPAP intolerance test.
• Patients with progressive disease in which local treatment is not applicable
