One-Lung breathing during heart bypass may cut fluid buildup
NCT ID NCT07612709
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a safer way to protect lungs during heart surgery, potentially reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage study (45 people) that only measures short-term effects. It may not lead to a proven treatment or apply to all patients.
