Breathing trick during surgery may change heart function
NCT ID NCT07299396
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study of 70 adults having laparoscopic hysterectomy tested how a lung-opening technique called alveolar recruitment manoeuvre affects heart rate, blood pressure, and other heart measures. Researchers used special monitors to track these changes. The goal is to understand how this breathing maneuver impacts the heart during 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 help anesthesiologists better manage patient heart function during surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study focused on measuring effects, not testing a new treatment. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries.
