The Efficacy of Postoperative Application of HFNC at Acute Phase for Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy Surgery Patients

This is a prospective study that uses the treatment guideline of our chest surgery ICU. Investigators recruited 90 patients who underwent MIE in the National Taiwan University Hospital. The clinical data collected included vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory patterns and frequencies, saturation of blood oxygen and carbon dioxide, etc.), blood tests, images and bronchoscopic analysis of sputum. The goal of this study is to analyze common care problems and complications patients may encounter during the acute stage in ICU after MIE. By comparing the differences between the treatment group and the control group, investigators can interpret the role of HFNC.
