Simple breathing tool may boost oxygen after bypass surgery
NCT ID NCT05192785
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using an incentive spirometer (a device that encourages deep breathing) after coronary artery bypass surgery helps improve oxygen levels and vital signs. 58 patients were randomly assigned to receive either standard care or standard care plus the breathing device. The researchers measured blood oxygen, carbon dioxide, and blood pressure to see if the device made a difference.
