First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tested a way to give anesthesia during heart surgery using much less gas than usual. 92 adults having planned heart surgery were split into two groups: one got standard gas flow, the other got ultra-low flow. The goal was to see if the low-flow method safely reduces the amount of drug used and the pollution released. Results showed it worked well, lowering both cost and environmental impact without harming patient safety.
