First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study looked at how changing the ventilator's air volume and pressure during surgery affects pressure inside the lungs and chest. Researchers used a small balloon placed in the esophagus to measure these pressures in 150 adults having elective surgery. The goal was to better understand how ventilator settings impact the body, not to test a new treatment.
