Study Summary

This trial tests if mechanical ventilation is better than manual for transporting cardiac patients to ICU.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who need mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery and are heading to the ICU. It's not for those extubated in the OR, with severe right ventricular dysfunction seen on echocardiography before surgery, or if they refuse to participate. Also excluded are patients needing mechanical circulatory support or therapy with certain inhaled drugs for blood vessel dilation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two ways of helping patients breathe during transport to the ICU: using a manual AMBU bag versus a Hamilton C1 ventilator machine. The goal is to see which method better supports oxygenation and breathing in post-cardiac surgery patients.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include issues related to improper ventilation such as low oxygen levels, excess carbon dioxide in the blood, lung injury from too much pressure, or discomfort associated with each technique.
