About this trial

The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether sigh ventilation strategy, combining sigh breaths, low tidal volume, and moderate PEEP levels, protects against major pulmonary complications within the first 7 postoperative days after cardiac surgery, as compared with conventional ventilation strategy with low tidal volume, and moderate PEEP levels.
