First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether measuring carbon dioxide in a patient's breath can help doctors estimate how well the heart is pumping during non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to monitor heart function, avoiding the need for risky catheters. 105 adults having general or lower limb surgery participated. The results may lead to safer, simpler monitoring.
