Summary
This study compared two ways of using a breathing machine during emergency abdominal surgery to see which one leads to fewer lung problems and deaths. Over 700 adults took part. One method used higher air pressure and extra breaths to open the lungs, while the other used lower pressure. The goal was to find the safest approach for patients needing urgent surgery.
