Heart Patients' breathing settings under review: could an algorithm do better?
NCT ID NCT07484828
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 100 adults who needed a breathing machine after a heart attack or cardiac arrest. Researchers want to see how often acid-base problems happen and compare the settings doctors used with those suggested by a computer algorithm. The goal is to improve future care for critically ill heart patients. No new treatments are given—only existing medical records are reviewed.
