NCT ID NCT06006208
First seen Dec 08, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study looked at 78 adults who had heart surgery and needed a breathing tube afterward. Researchers compared using a mechanical ventilator versus a manual bag to help patients breathe while being moved from the operating room to the intensive care unit. The main goal was to see how much blood pressure changed during transport. The findings could help decide which method is better for patient stability.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Hamilton C1 ventilator
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that using a ventilator during transport keeps heart surgery patients more stable than manual bag ventilation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study (78 people) comparing two breathing methods during a short trip. The results may not apply to all patients or change standard practice.
