Review[The effect of non-invasive mechanical ventilation in postoperative respiratory failure].
Postoperative respiratory failure is related with the highest mortality and morbidity among all perioperative complications. The most common underlying mechanism of postoperative respiratory failure is the development of atelectasis. Anaesthesia, medications which cause respiratory depression, high FiO2 use, postoperative pain and disruption of muscle forces due to surgery leads to decrease in functional residual capacity and results in atelectasis formation. ⋯ The differences of this therapy from standard application and potential complications should be well known in order to improve prognosis in these group of patients. The primary aim of this review is to underline the pathogenesis of postoperative respiratory failure. The secondary aim is to clarify the optimum method, effect and complications of non-invasive mechanical ventilation therapy under the light of the studies which was performed in specific patient groups.

Review[Interstitial lung disease associated with connective tissue diseases: diagnosis and treatment approaches].
Connective tissue diseases are a diverse group of immunologically mediated systemic disorders that often lead to thoracic changes. There are huge differences between epidemiological studies depending upon method of ascertainment and selection criteria regarding the incidence of respiratory involvement due to connective tissue diseases. However, increased mortality and morbidity develops pulmonary involvement due to connective tissue diseases. ⋯ The diagnostic methods of disease include clinical approach, pulmonary function tests, high-resolution computed tomography, bronchoalveolar lavage and surgical lung biopsy. Treatment and selection of drugs are still controversial. In this review, a CTD-ILD, separately for each diagnosis, pulmonary function tests and radiological features, prognosis and treatment approaches were evaluated.
