    Protective lung ventilation reduces mechanical ventilation-induced lung injuries in patients post-cardiac surgery.

  • 2

    Lower tidal volumes are linked to fewer perioperative complications and less organ failure after cardiac surgery.

  • 3

    The VentilO application assists clinicians in optimizing mechanical ventilation settings based on patient-specific data.

  • 4

    A study of 100 postoperative cardiac patients aimed to validate the VentilO algorithm and assess respiratory acidosis prevalence.

  • 5

    The primary outcome of the study was the rate of respiratory acidosis and the comparison of ventilatory parameters set by clinicians and VentilO.
