First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tested whether using a high-flow nasal cannula (a device that delivers warm, moist oxygen at a high rate) right after removing the breathing tube in heart surgery patients could lower the chance of needing to be re-intubated within 48 hours. Over 3,500 adults who had heart surgery took part. The goal was to see if this oxygen method works better than usual care for preventing breathing failure.
