NCT ID NCT06826794

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study tests whether a smartphone app called VentilO can help doctors set breathing machines better for patients just after heart surgery. About 76 adults will be randomly assigned to have their ventilator settings chosen by the app or by their doctor. The goal is to see if the app reduces the chance of a blood acidity problem called respiratory acidosis, which can occur when the machine doesn't breathe enough for the patient.
