Summary

This study tested a new way to guide treatment during major surgery by measuring gases in a patient's breath. The goal was to see if this approach could prevent organ failure after surgery. 350 adults having abdominal, orthopedic, or vascular surgery took part. Doctors in the experimental group used a special algorithm based on breath measurements to decide when to give fluids, blood, or medicines.
