Quirónsalud Teknon study validates high-frequency low-tidal-volume ventilation to cut catheter motion in AF ablation

• Grupo Hospitalario Quirón validated a new mechanical ventilation protocol to improve precision during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
• Results have already been published in the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia.
• The study found the approach reduced respiration-driven catheter movement without compromising short-term physiological tolerance under general anesthesia.
• The protocol uses standard anesthesia ventilators, supporting rapid adoption without specialized equipment or major capital spending.
• Teknon teams plan randomized trials to confirm benefits and refine clinical use.
