Breathing machine vs. hand pump: which is safer for moving critical patients?

NCT ID NCT06006208

Summary

This study compared two ways to help patients breathe while being moved from the operating room to the intensive care unit after major heart surgery. Researchers looked at whether using a portable breathing machine or a manual hand-pumped bag was better at keeping patients' oxygen levels, blood pressure, and heart function stable during the short trip. The goal was to gather evidence to help doctors make safer choices for these vulnerable patients.
