Summary

This study tested a new way to guide treatment during major surgery. By measuring the gases a patient breathes out, doctors can tell if the body's tissues are getting enough oxygen. 350 adults having abdominal, orthopedic, or vascular surgery were randomly assigned to standard care or care guided by this breath measurement. The goal was to see if this approach reduces organ failure and death within 30 days after surgery.
