First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether ventilating only one lung during heart-lung bypass surgery can reduce fluid buildup and lung damage in high-risk patients. Forty-five older adults having major elective heart surgery will take part. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better lung function after surgery.
