Summary
This study tests two different methods to re-inflate the lungs after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. 52 adult patients will be randomly assigned to either a quick, single inflation or a gradual step-up method. The goal is to see which approach is safer for the heart and better at clearing collapsed lung tissue.
