CPAP on ECMO for severe lung failure
This trial is for people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are already on a life-support machine called VV-ECMO. It tests whether adding a special breathing tube (CPAP) can help their lungs heal better.
BobignyAges 18 years+ - NCT06814951Recruiting
Breathing & movement technique after heart bypass surgery
This study tests a special breathing and movement technique called the Thoraco-abdominal Rebalance Method to see if it helps people recover faster after heart bypass surgery.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 35 years+ - NCT06810375RecruitingPhase 3
Nerve Blocks for Pain After Video-Assisted Lung Surgery
This trial tests two different numbing shots (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain after video-assisted lung surgery. One block is placed near the spine, and the other is between the ribs. The goal is to find the best way to keep you comfortable after surgery.
