We report the case of a patient with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for whom gastrectomy was successfully performed with the use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV). A 63-year-old man who had been suffering from chronic pulmonary emphysema for 12 years and receiving home oxygen therapy (HOT) for 9 years was diagnosed with gastric carcinoma. The patient required supplemental oxygen via nasal cannulae even at rest, and had labored breathing through pursed lips after a short conversation. The forced expiratory volume in 1 s was 400 ml. He underwent conventional gastrectomy under general anesthesia, and was extubated 90 min after surgery and given NPPV support. He was successfully weaned from NPPV on postoperative day (POD) 10 and discharged from our hospital on POD 28. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation is useful for the perioperative management of patients with severe COPD and for extending the possibilities of surgery for patients on HOT.
