Study to reveal best way to ventilate patients on the move
NCT ID NCT07646249
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study observes 800 adults who need breathing help after major non-cardiac surgery and are moved from the operating room to the ICU. Researchers will compare manual bag ventilation versus portable ventilator use during transport, tracking vital signs and complications. The goal is to identify safer practices for this critical phase of care.
