Physiotherapist-led intermittent noninvasive ventilation for hypoxaemia following abdominal surgery in a quaternary Australian hospital: a randomised pilot feasibility trial.

A randomized pilot feasibility trial conducted at a major Australian hospital examined whether physiotherapists could safely lead intermittent noninvasive ventilation (NIV) for patients experiencing low oxygen levels after abdominal surgery. The study evaluated the practicality and feasibility of this physiotherapist-directed approach in a quaternary care setting. Findings contribute to the evidence base for expanding the clinical role of physiotherapists in postoperative respiratory management.
