Breathing without a breathing tube during heart transplant surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether heart transplant surgery can be done while the patient is awake and breathing on their own, instead of using a breathing tube. If successful, it may lead to faster recovery and fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older and are scheduled for a heart transplant.

- Your vital signs are stable enough for the study procedures.
- You are willing to participate and sign a consent form.
- You do not have severe lung, heart, or kidney problems that would make this approach unsafe.
