Summary
This study looked at whether measuring carbon dioxide in a patient's breath at rest (PETCO2) can help predict lung and heart complications after major vascular surgery. Researchers studied 91 older adults who were scheduled for aortobifemoral bypass surgery. The goal was to see if a simple, non-stressful breath test could replace the standard exercise test that many frail patients cannot complete.
