This trial is testing whether the way doctors control your breathing during atrial fibrillation ablation surgery affects how well the procedure works. Atrial fibrillation is a condition where your heart beats irregularly, and ablation is a procedure where doctors use heat to fix the problem areas. The study compares two different breathing methods to see which one helps doctors create more effective and lasting treatment.
About 1 in 5 patients need repeat surgery after this procedure because the treated areas don't stay fixed. Doctors believe that reducing movement caused by breathing during surgery helps them create better, longer-lasting treatment. This trial is testing whether a gentler, faster breathing approach improves success rates.

If you join this trial, you will receive your ablation surgery as planned, but with one of two different breathing control methods used during the procedure. The study team will record details about your surgery, breathing measurements, and heart monitoring during the procedure, then follow up with you afterward to track how well the treatment works and check for any complications. Your participation involves no extra visits beyond your normal ablation surgery and follow-up care.
