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.
