Article Synopsis
- Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can cause lung injuries, and this study evaluated the use of low frequency ventilation (LFV) during such procedures in patients needing valve surgery.
- A total of 63 patients participated, with primary outcomes focused on lung inflammation markers and secondary outcomes on lung function and mobility post-surgery.
- The results indicated that LFV was safe and effective, leading to better preserved lung function and movement, suggesting its potential for broader application in future studies.

This information is intended to help students focus their efforts on applying to the most suitable colleges, but it may also influence application decisions in undesirable ways.
