This study tested two ways to remove a breathing tube after a C-section to see which one helps mothers breathe better right after surgery. Researchers compared a gentle airflow method to a suction method in 120 women having planned C-sections. The main goal was to see which techn…

This study tested whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool could help healthcare professionals read chest X-rays more accurately, quickly, and confidently. Thirty-three doctors and radiographers reviewed 500 past chest X-rays, first on their own and then with the AI's help, t…

This study tested whether using a special monitor called the Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) during surgery could help prevent a common complication called atelectasis, where parts of the lung collapse. Researchers compared this new monitoring method to standard oxygen monitoring in 5…

This study tested if removing a patient's breathing tube using a specific 'positive pressure' technique could help prevent low oxygen levels after major abdominal surgery. Researchers compared this new method to the standard way of removing the tube in 208 adult patients. The goa…

This study tested if using lower oxygen levels when waking patients from anesthesia reduces lung collapse, compared to the standard 100% oxygen. It involved 48 adults having elective surgery. Researchers measured lung function using a special belt to see if 40% or 70% oxygen was …
