Summary
This study looked at whether measuring carbon dioxide in a patient's breath can help doctors estimate how well the heart is pumping blood during non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to find a non-invasive alternative to the current method, which requires inserting a tube into the heart. 105 adults having general or lower-limb surgery participated. The results could lead to safer monitoring for future patients.
