Summary

Our study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of continuous high-frequency oscillation therapy in reducing PPCs in patients following elective cardiac surgery. Through a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial, we seek to establish evidence that could lead to improved postoperative pulmonary care and outcomes for cardiac surgery patients.

Conditions

• Postoperative Pulmonary Atelectasis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	continuous high-frequency oscillation therapy	Once patients' CPOT score reaches 0, intubated patients will receive continuous high-frequency oscillation (CHFO) therapy three times daily, with 8-hour intervals and 10-minute sessions. Extubated patients will receive CHFO and continuous positive expiratory pressure (CPEP) therapy twice daily, with 12-hour intervals and 10-minute sessions.
