NCT ID NCT03987789
First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tested two ways of using a breathing machine during emergency abdominal surgery. One method used higher pressure to open the lungs, while the other used lower pressure to avoid overstretching. The goal was to see which approach reduced breathing failure and death after surgery. Over 700 adults took part, and the results help doctors choose safer ventilation settings.
