Heart surgery breathing study aims to cut lung failure risk
NCT ID NCT03098524
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two ways of managing breathing during heart bypass surgery to see which better prevents lung complications. Over 1,500 adults having planned heart surgery were randomly assigned to either no breathing support or gentle, low-volume breaths while on the heart-lung machine. The goal was to reduce death, respiratory failure, pneumonia, and the need for extra oxygen support after surgery.
