Low-tidal volume ventilation during cardiopulmonary bypass associates with higher mechanical power in patients developing postoperative pulmonary complications
Low-tidal volume ventilation linked to higher power during heart surgery
This prospective observational study evaluated patients undergoing cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass.
Patients with lung complications after heart surgery showed higher mechanical power when ventilation continued during bypass compared to tho…
